Leaving in 3 weeks for CST Cadre. Still no orders or 1610 to travel. When should I start contacting my branch manager/HRA again? I contacted them a little over a week ago and they said they were still working.

Hello,
Recently commissioned and won't go to BOLC until Fall. I commissioned with about 2yrs and 9.5 months TIS from the Guard. Will this break be counted or not towards TIS for pay purposes (I know def not retirement)?
Reporting to Ft. Sill for FA BOLC on 18 July. Message me so we can start a gc with others going that date!
Has anyone received any information about what we need to bring to ft. Knox as cadre? I’m leaving in 4 ish weeks and I haven’t gotten any guidance on what to do getting there/ what to bring etc.
Is anyone a recent OD graduate or shipping in June? I'm shipping in July but need to start prepping my packing list as I will be traveling for work most of June and don't want to rush when I return to my home office.
If anybody anybody wants to know how AGBOLC was like DM I’ll break it down for you along with let you know which training you can do before you get there you’ll only have to worry about assignments, tests, and one training that can’t be done until you get there.
Report day of 03June but still waiting on an assignment. Anybody know when we’ll be getting assignments. It is a pcs so I know it can be a BOLC when we receive them, just trying to get a timeframe. TY
Anyone interested in rooming together in an apartment for ABOLC class starting 1 December? Male btw.
Might belong elsewhere, might belong here. I'm not sure, any advice is appreciated.
I (23F, QM 2LT) was SMP. My HOR (home of record) was erroneously recorded as being in my college state rather then my parent's state (where my state of legal residence is). My DD4 and DD41-2 are messed up.
Everywhere in ROTC is correct and has my HOR listed properly as my parent's state. All records, online stuff, etc are correct from their end.
My branch manager is correcting my orders so I can move from my proper HOR (I understand I can move from my HOR or place of enlistment, which is the college state, but I need to move from my HOR). He says this weird discrepancy with my HOR is going to cause me problems in the future as I have various documents listing two different places as my HOR. How do I fix this permanently? Our good HRA is on emergency medical leave and my former cadre are way out of the ballpark that is the field of HRA-stuff they are supposed to take over.
Edit: Found more info. I can say I enlisted in college state with my HOR as college state. Anytime you have a change in service I can say my HOR changed. Commissioning counts.
Edit 2: Temporarily resolved. My orders were amended. HRA says that my HOR can get permanently corrected at BOLC when I sit down with them to go over my documentation. Specifically validating a new DD4.
Anyone else here prior service and have there whole enlisted documents on IPERMS disappear? Anyone know the fix to get them back? Missing everything.
Does anyone know if there's been any changes to the Finance BOLC? Are we staying in the field, barracks, hotels? Also how many days is FTX? Thank you in advance
my TAM soldier worksheet projection has a job opening of fort cavazos Texas (it was nowhere on my assignment preference), the description says 1st cav division sustainment bde. Interestingly the grade is listed as O2 (perhaps a error?). I did want to go OCONUS to Korea, Japan, Germany, etc so getting a CONUS duty station is a little disappointing personally. If anybody has the TC branch managers contact info and/or wants to swap duty stations, please lmk!! I’m also open to insights about fort cavazos such as quality of life, surrounding area, work life balance, etc.
DM me if you need one.

I've got DCC/BOLC coming up and I'm trying to make sense of my orders/how to setup travel with DTS. I know I have to fly in to OKC on my report date and do travel with soldier express, and that we're supposed to be bussed down to San Antonio right after for BOLC. My orders then have me spend the extra day after BOLC ends back at my duty station. When booking my flight back home from San Antonio, is there a certain time of day I should book the flight for? I haven't heard anything from Fort Sam yet, but I have my full welcome letter from Fort Sill.
Thanks, not sure if this makes any sense, but hoping someone could explain a bit for me.
I commission this Saturday, and I still don’t have any idea when my PROJECTED date is for IBOLC. Anyone facing a similar situation? Every time I try to find an answer it’s a different one and none of them really provide any actual information (this is not my first experience with the big green weenie so if you’re here to comment something along the lines of “welcome to the army” please don’t waste your time or mine). Thanks for the help in advance.
Going to Transportation BOLC in October! Any advice or tips and tricks? Is QM, OD, and TC combined? What’s the daily life like? Thanks!
Does anyone have a June, July, August, or September ABOLC that they are interested in trading. I've got a 01DEC BOLC and I hate waiting around lol.
Looking for Off-Post Housing reccomendations.
If my report date says June 9th but I don’t start IBOLC until June 16th do I show up the 9th or show up anytime before the 16th?
