Carollynn,
Yes, there are two separate oaths taken if your daughter is going into the delayed entry program. Parents can go to both, especially the second one, which is just before they leave for boot camp. The first one secures her spot, should secure her a spot in the A school she picked, and gives her a ship out date. All of this is dependent on her passing her physical test and the availability of the rating she is interested in. In the DEP program she will have regular meetings with her recruiter, have physical fitness events, and help her start preparing for boot camp. When it's time for her ship date, she will have another appointment at MEPS, one last physical check just to make sure nothing changed since her first swearing in, sign her final and binding contract, take her official oath of enlistment, receive her orders, and then head off with several others to Great Lakes. Depending on factors such as where her MEPS is, where the airport is, and when her flight is, you can meet up with her at the airport and get a gate pass to wait with her until her plane boards.
Hope this info helps and if you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

I wasn't allowed to go to her physical and first swearing in. That was when she signed her contract. I did go to the official swear in before she left for boot camp. Lots of parents, spouses and a couple of children were there. It was very nice.
