Ok so the consensus seems to be that orders to HSL-40 are only to HSL-40 and no matter what the verbals were they can change, and apparently do change very often. So being told HSL-east means that I could still end up in Hawaii or sand diego, or some other place. When will I find this kind of thing out, and well can anyone give me a real and valid answer? Or should I just keep on renting an apartment?
You won't know with any certainty until you get your actual follow-on orders. As CK has previously posted, that won't happen until you're almost done w/ the RAG. Again, talk to STUCON at 40 when you get there and they will be able to give you a more definite answer. Until then, I would not recommend buying any real estate.
