TBS orders

[Lt_SNA_USMC]

Gentleman:
I was commissioned 03 Aug 2002 and was given tentative orders for TBS 10 April 2002 (an 8 month wait I know). I received a call from my OSO 06 November and (last week) and was told to pack my trash--I got orders for 26 November this month! Just thought I would enlighten those who are thinking that they might have to wait months and months after being commissioned to go active duty--you won't have to wait long this years it seems. (This of course applies to PLCs--OCCs remain on active duty after OCS). To those who are TBS bound this month, I'll see you in Q-town! Ooh Rah.

How long are OCC grads with air contracts waiting to go to TBS nowadays? How about the wait between TBS and API?

 

[Lt_SNA_USMC]

You don't really wait for TBS if you are an OCC. You remain on active duty in Quantico until your training Co. picks up. TBS-API, I've heard true stories of 5 days and stories of 9 months. You never know.

Joshmountain told me, the wait is anywhere from 2-3 months on average, but like Lt_SNA_USMC said, it could be 5 days.

hey! Secure your sources

Yeah, it was five days for me (to check in @ MATSG -- API one week later), but that type of arrangment was volunteer only.

Like it's been posted. . .you'll have a couple months to take leave, do IFS (if no flight time) and get your Phase I AWS complete.

Watch out though, they did that to me and then the day before i was supposed to leave, they told me, oops, we made a mistake, go back to waiting... Ended up waiting 7 months.

Man, I remember back when I was actually excited about TBS...

 

[Lt_SNA_USMC]

did you have orders to TBS? I have orders in my hand that say 26 Nov. And are you at TBS right now? what Co?

I was told I had orders. Never actually saw them. If you have orders, then I would think that you're pretty much going on the 26th. And no, I was in Alpha Co last year. You'll be in the new Alpha Co i guess. I'm in the middle of primary right now... Good luck.

Yeah, my ordes say the 26th.
Can't wait.

FUN, FUN, FUN, in the sun........only just the opposite
