In-Processing Day (I-Day) begins with our four-degree (freshman) cadet-appointees getting dropped off at the Holaday Athletic Center to begin their official in-processing activities. After processing through several stations, including a medical review and taking the Oath of Office, they become Basic Cadets.
Swearing-In Ceremony
Thursday, June 25
Stillman Field
The Basic Cadets’ Swearing-In Ceremony is typically held the day after In-Processing Day and is conducted by the commandant of cadets. Family members and guests are welcome to attend. Basic Cadets will form on the parade field by flight, starting with Flight (A) on the left and ending with the last flight, typically Flight H, on the right. To ensure you’re sitting in the best location to see your cadet, please verify your cadet’s flight information before attending. Please note that contact with Basic Cadets is not permitted during or after the ceremony.
