Starting residency at BAMC in June and wondering when we can expect to receive orders. Also curious if any of you guys who have done the military move a bunch of times have any tips to offer a first timer. Thanks!
It's getting a little frustrating because we can't coordinate the move without orders.How do we go about getting advanced travel/pay? I'm PCSing to Hawaii and the housing situation is a huge pain in the ass. Nobody is willing to wait until I actually PCS and want me to sign and start paying on a lease in May. I still do not have any orders so I assume there is nothing I can do until I get them.

totally agree that it has been frustrating. i did however receive a copy of my orders via email yesterday so can really get down to planning my move. i am army but hopefully all branches will have them out to you soon! anyone have recs on moving companies to use/avoid?
Man, this sucks that everyone else is getting their orders.
Did you get RFO yet?
Yep, got that a couple weeks ago.
Should be coming pretty soon then, I haven't received my official orders yet either.
What's the RFO and how do you receive it? email or mail? I haven't heard anything from them other than the orientation packet.Are you headed to TAMC as well?

Can we use the RFO to ship a car out of St Louis (to TAMC)? or do we have to wait for official orders?It stands for "request for orders," it is basically an interim set of orders before you get the real thing. They are sent to your AKO e-mail.

OK, my good deed for the day -I was told official orders only. Not really sure what the point of RFO is
