Spiffy_cup_of_coffee Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 How did you get so lucky to go that early. I dont go till July 29th. Selected September too. Although hrc did give me a hook up of reporting in May so I could transfer services early 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WApp Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 Picked up on July Board. Slated for 19-011. Street to seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotodog208 Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 Also street to seat slated for 19-011 selected in July. Not sure how the change to a 5 week course will impact the dates. Later start or earlier finish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike0331 Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 I'm in this class as well. Rumor is 5 week course will probably start 2 weeks later. Prior service, now current Guard member. Selected for aviation March, fedrecd as a "WOC" around the July timeframe which is probably when they put the class request in for WOCS.

WApp Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 Yeah that is going to suck. BCT ends for me like March 27th, so two weeks pushed would put WOCS starting like april 23....I wonder if we can take leave after BCT and before WOCS starts.. I also wonder if pushing 2 weeks means we will have distance learning to complete like AD members do.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jswan89 Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 Hey guys, I'm an AD guy going to WOCS on April 4th. Was selected on the September board. Anybody else going then? Yep Ill be there! Looks like its the full 7 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike0331 Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 Its still the full 7 weeks in the schedule, but the new 5 week curriculum should be coming in to play, and from what I've been told the class will start 2 weeks later.

novAL99 Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 Street to seat, 19-011, also. Selected on the July board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JNFM Posted November 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2018 Yeah it looks like most of the guys going to this class are street to seat, which I'm totally happy about. I'm really excited to finally get down to Rucker. I've been thinking about starting a FB group where we can all keep in touch before going down to school, it may have some other uses too after we graduate. What do ya'll think?

Although hrc did give me a hook up of reporting in May so I could transfer services earlyI guess its because there are many, many 7 week courses and only a couple 5 week courses per year. Although I'll be an NCO January 1 (I'm in BLC now) I applied as an E4. I guess not getting promoted quickly actually helped me out a little. What Branch are you coming from?

Marines coming in as a staff sergeant. But I think most sister service guys are starting in June-July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mBeck Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 I just went to MEPS today to sign my contract and have a 18 April start date at Rucker.... I dont know what my class number is but looking at the schedule, this is the closest class I can see that could be my starting date... Does anyone know if when they changed the course to 5 weeks this class had a new start date of 18 April? Im just really confused as there is no class starting 18 April on the schedule haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what schedule was given to you but the almighty ATRRS never lies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was selected as a civilian on the September board and don't report to BCT until July Oh damn... 18 April is my WOCS date. I leave 29 Jan for BCT. My guess is someone couldnt make their reservation and I just happened to be there at the right time and got the slot. But who knows how any of it works...

freebeerforvets Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 Hey there everyone,I'm in a 5 week class starting April 4th as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike0331 Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 Start date is now the 18th fyi. I think report dates vary a bit. Graduation is still May 22nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freebeerforvets Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 Thanks for the heads up on the start date, do you know if report dates have changed at all due to this? Otherwise I suppose just longer hold over status/prep prior to start date? Ill inquire at drill this weekend but not sure if my unit is tracking this change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
