In your last post, did you mean that the guys you know were going to show up to IFS within a week of graduation, or API? Thanks
He didn't mean either. You show up to TBS and start zero week pretty much right away. Whether you pick up with a training company or not is another story... When you do IFS you are administratively put in Mike Company. You are in the IFS Platoon.
Like I said earlier, there is no guarantee that you will be able to do IFS before the BOC, there is no guarantee that you will pick up right away, there is no guarantee that you will have time to go back home to pick up the pieces once you get here, there is no guarantee... get the picture?
