the long, drawn out, aggravating and frustrating wait for orders

Hey All!!!! I got a question....:coollook:

How is everyone getting their set of orders? Are they getting to you via snail mail? email? ako? and just for average sake.... about how long are they taking for commissioning to you (no hearsays please)?

I am 61 days,or 5,270,400 secs or 87,840 minutes or 1464 hours post commissioning. I know I am hopping on this once again.... but my ako email is messed up (some one there in ako land put a 2 after my name and like there are two of us in the Army..... ahahahahahaha NO!):bugeyes: they got me listed as IRR (I just signed my life over to them how am I IRR) .... the list goes on (as in my MDR is listed as in 2014.... someone there can't do math):cry: .... I don't know what an impact this all has, maybe it has none but as drill weekend rolls around this weekend hmmm....... I am betting at this point I am putting all my earrings back in my ears that I took out for my I.D. and just gonna be trying to forget that I should be, by all means at drill and not being where I will be.:angryfire

thanks in advance!

Congrats, 66HMF!!! I know it has been a long time coming.. Good luck to you.

Hey 66HM5!

When I first read your post I didn't immediately see that you finally got your orders! I thought it was a quick update that you were STILL WAITING~

HOOAH is RIGHT!

Isn't it sad that we often must go outside the chain of command and involve outside parties (Like our local Congress member)?

No matter...So now, curious minds want to know: When and where? Which TPU are you with??

Have a blast at your first drill/battle assembly

{{waiting for your orders, nerve racking....finally getting your orders, priceless}}

6283rd AHU out of Mesa. I believe I have to attend Battle Assembly at end of the month. I am going attempt to call my unit to see if I can get into the June OBLC class next week.

Thank you everyone for your advice and support.
