Is it normal to bring a few family members when being sworn in?

I get sworn into the navy in a month or so and they said I could bring family. Will most people do this or will I show up and it'll just be me n my family? ;p

YES!  My husband and kids were at mine and when my boys joined we were at theirs. There were quite a few families there.  Also at the basic training graduation there were a LOT of people there.

To be sworn in, were is it held? Is it held in the province in which you applied or elsewhere?

 

[Sunnyns]

It should be at the recruiting centre you've been dealing with.

Good to know, thank you.

Quite normal and encouraged. I remember asking if my Dad (an LCol at the time) could administer the oath and the RC had no problem with that at all.
