d10 Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Eh... I went through WOCS in July/August and it wasn't nearly as bad as going through basic in the winter. 1 Quote
KMKarlinski Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Well, I'm going to MEPS tomorrow to sign my contract and swear in. So I'll know when and where I'm going soon. =) Quote
Talon64 Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 I bet that's exciting! I'm anxious to know when I ship. Quote
KMKarlinski Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 I bet that's exciting! I'm anxious to know when I ship.Lol I can tell! It would be hard to find out your accepted and still have to wait. Quote
lee122485 Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 I'm active af too. Congratulations on selection, man!!! Any orders or class date yet?Thanks. No class date yet, but I'm not expecting anything for at least another two weeks. Quote
wm200 Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Eh... I went through WOCS in July/August and it wasn't nearly as bad as going through basic in the winter.Probably depends on where you're from. I guess some people don't mind being drenched in sweat 24/7. Dunker looks too easy, just unbuckle and swim out. Quote
nskojo Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Not too freak any of the AD guys out, but a buddy of mine who was selected in the NOV board got a class date of August...he was a younger guy who doesn't have WLC so I'm hoping that's why his class date is so far off Was hoping to have a class date around that time frame Quote
Talon64 Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 That blow. I hope I'm not that far out. In AD Air Force. Wonder how that impacts my dates. Quote
smalltownguy Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 For you civilian guys that have dates six months out, did they tell you things you can and can't do or any restrictions of any type? I'm just curious, I'd like to keep going full swing at my current job if I have to wait six months from selection and in order for me to do that I may have to deploy overseas for another few months. Thanks in advance. Quote
skyreaper Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 ^Im guessing a deployment is outside of the scope of a civilian brief. I signed/swore in yesterday and didn't really receive any specifics other than the standard don't get a DWI, don't get arrested, don't get hurt etc. I still have a few questions on travel related stuff too.

I think they basically just want you to show up when you are supposed to and don't go in to specifics. The risk of getting hurt would be much higher in a deployed environment but I don't imagine they would say no... just the good ole "be careful" like a mom would say. I presume they will make no inquiries about my location and care less as long as I'm not in handcuffs or a hospital bed. Quote

I3uller Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 surprisedelatedlife-changingenduringcommittedthankfuleagerdestinedHaha congrats man, worth the wait I'm sure. Quote
GoodKnight Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Congrats TriViper! Those who have signed, you ship in July and what else is on your schedule for now? Quote
TriViper Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 @GoodKnight: Shipping in July? So is shipping out is typically about 5 months out? Actually, I prefer a further out ship date -- can this be requested when I sign the papers at MEPs? Quote
GoodKnight Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Others have said their ship date is July. I am wondering what is listed. BCT - WOCS - etc. I haven't signed yet. Quote
KMKarlinski Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Basic for me is May 28 at Ft Jackson Quote
lee122485 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Are y'all given dates for just basic or both basic and wocs? Quote
KMKarlinski Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 That was just basic. I go to Ft. Rucker August 13. Quote
skyreaper Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I guess I'll be in the next class after you KM. Rucker in Oct. Quote
KMKarlinski Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Nice. =) You'll probably have nicer weather than I will. (not so hot at least) Quote
