Each Graduation week a flight is chosen to carry the state and territorial flags for the Graduation Parade on Thursday. Being asked to carry the flags is considered a huge honor.

The flight carrying the flags will have a process similar to Band Flights on Wednesday during Coin Ceremony. After the Graduation Parade,  the flight will exit the field to put away the flags.  You will meet them in the storage or staging area. Once the flags are stored you will be able to hug your Airman/Guardian.

Some MTIs will put the flight back into formation so you can tap out your Airman … others may not.  Just follow their lead.  Either way you will get a chance for another big hug!
