    Oath Ceremony March 21 8:15AM MST, I live in EST - just to be extra sure because I do get paranoid, I should be signing in at 10:15am my time, right?

    The google conversion says 8:15MST is 10:15EST, though I do have a habit of getting paranoid over this stuff so even though I'm pretty sure I'm correct here, just wanted to confirm it with others who may have done it as well.
