Hello,
I've been lurking for a couple years now, and I think this is my first post (yea!).
Situation: I'm graduating and commissioning spring, and just got orders for Jun. 24th TBS start date.
Problem: I requested a later start date for various reasons: to include traveling with new wife (save the ranting), and bbq'ing with friends and family for my last summer home. Obviously that didn't happen.
Question: I have already sent a request to get the date changed to Sept. 11th. My OSO doesn't know if it will work or not (his first season). So, is there anything else I can do to improve my chances of getting the new start date? What are the chances of getting a new date? Has anyone else done it or heard of someone doing it?
Thanks for any info and years of previous info!
