INDOC is at NRC/NOSC. Confirmed with N1 who said that NRC was responsible for scheduling me for ODS (it may be different for everyone). So I'll wait to speak to them during that time for scheduling. If I can't make the January ODS, I'll ask for the next date of 26 February; putting me into the next BQC cohort beginning in August.Is INDOC at your unit or the NOSC? If it's at the NOSC, I would email the COC of your unit and ask for the details of the N7 (training officer) and reach out to them to ask if it's possible to put you in ODS now. If your heart is absolutely set on January ODS, I wouldn't wait. If you can go to ODS later, then it's not as big of a deal.
I had my heart set on a certain ODS date and I wasn't able to get it, so if you're set on January I just want to try and set expectations. There are a lot of moving parts and the process moves slowly.
You might want to take a copy of your marriage certificate and, if you have kids, birth certificates to get them added. If your wife already has a CAC then I imagine they can add her as a dependent to you without her being there (because she'll already have a DOD ID number)
I just spoke to the CAC office. Because I'm already in DEERS as a dependent, my wife's ID will suffice. I will definitely have to bring birth certificates and SSC's for my kiddos.
