sheriff is correct, they are just getting started now. Remember the incoming class is 2 months away.
Cadre PCS and train during this time. They typically run a skeletal crew, and now with the furloughs for civilians in the unit, the manpower will be impacted even more. They are going to be showing the impact of sequestration in @ 2 weeks when they start sitting down.
They are dealing with closing up paperwork for the cadets that commissioned only a few weeks ago.
~~~ Our DS commissioned last yr. May 26th. He was in contact with the det. over the summer because in the AF, the det. was the one that got his orders. Orders are given @ 6 weeks out.
~~~ There are also threads about summer training mishaps...showed up and it was cancelled, cadets needed new assignments.
~~~ Some cadets may still be waiting for their waivers.
This is all done on a skeletal crew.
If your DS is clear to go, I wouldn't be concerned until 30 days out. No offense, but he is at the bottom of the pile when it comes to priorities. He has none, except report date for ROTC and what he needs to bring to contract.
~~~I.E. original birth certificate.
This is the time to walk away from this site and make memories. It is the time to start trusting them....there is a method to their madness.
Don't worry, it will all be good.
Best thoughts.
Thank him for wanting to serve this great nation!
Thank you for supporting him!
OBTW, the size of the det is a factor too. A large det is going to have a larger cadre, and they can spread their wealth more. If your child is going to a small det. than it will also be a factor regarding how fast they can get back.
