Hello,

I just signed the contract yesterday and will be reporting to a TPU for a 66H8A slot. Does anyone have info. on when I should receive orders? Any info. is greatly appreciated. Recruiter said it would take about a month. But I'd like some 1st hand info if possible. Thanks in advance.:yeah:

For most people it is 30-60 days on average. Do you know what unit you will be going to?

Welcome to the fold LT. Congratualations!

I agree with Jeck on the 30-60 days, providing your recruiter got your packet HRC.

I am not sure if active duty is different but I commisioned on 23 june and got the phone call to secure my choice of 1st duty assignment and OBLC date on 28 august. As of today I have not received "official" orders but atleast I know I will PCS to Ft. Stewart, GA some time June 2010 and OBLC in March 2010 which is what I requested. I will be much happier when I actually have "official" written orders though.

CPT Ross:

48th CSH, is that AD or a Reserve unit? I am looking to PCS closer to the east coast and would like to transition into a CSH
