I'll be at USUHS in the Fall, and OBC this summer. Although I was supposed to have my orders by now, they haven't arrived yet. I e-mailed my Army contact, and she said that there was a delay at the "fund site," which I was told has something to do with my pay.
I have no prior military experience and don't fully know what orders are, or how long it takes to get my move set up, how the commissioning works, exactly how to get uniforms, etc. I am starting to get a bit nervous since I feel like time is running out. OBC is in 6 weeks, and I have some trips planned between now and then (apartment hunting for one) that's cutting into my preparation time.
So my questions are:
Is it going to be a problem getting my orders this late? Or is this normal? Should most people have their orders by now?
Will I be able to get my stuff moved before OBC assuming I get my orders soon? If not, how do I get my stuff up to Bethesda if I am in Texas until the end of July?
Is there anyone I can call and pester to expedite my orders?
Am I worrying over nothing?
Edit: one more thing . . .Do the orders include instructions on how to do everything I need to do?
