08' Pensacola Report Dates?
- Thread starter USF_Bull
- Start date
Hey Guys just a heads up, I got my report date the day I graduated. I graduated May 12th and was due in pensacola (from colorado) on June 1st. Of course my actual orders didn't arrive until a week or two later. So be patient, but be ready to move. It can jump up and get you. Also unless API has changed significantly, you will have some stash time when you get there to get settled in. Also, if you dont know the BOQ there is pretty full. They probably will not let you stay the whole 6weeks plus wait plus IFS time. Talk to PSD. You are probably getting TAD orders (which sucks because you only get a 600lb moving allowance) so technically you cant sign a lease. You can stay in a hotel, that the navy pays for (again verify all of this with PSD). The last lease thought--there is talk of Whiting making all unmarried JO's live in the BOQ. So now if you have a lease and go to whiting and couldnt get out of your lease (b/c whiting and NAS PCOLA are close) you are stuck in a bad situation. I know this is all worst case info, but just be aware that things dont always work out very easily. This is just my experience but I know short notice often occurs. Hope this helps.

As I understand it, they could be SNA/SNFO pending medical clearance from NAMI. That's how I was labeled until I received my PRK waiver.

Heard a rumor that they may be trying to limit the stash time in Pensacola this year. In other words, they are trying to give us a realistic starting date, and before that we are stashed at our units. Anyone else heard the same?

Was it you string bean?
Actually the CO said something about it last week too. He said that things were being done a little differently this semester, but he was guessing that it may be like that this year. I'm just hoping it isn't going to happen.

That was a pretty good video. But I really wouldn't worry about it. I mean would your gf really like you hanging out at the beach everyday with all those drunk redneck girls who will... I digress.
When is the CO retiring? or are they just going to make him permanently the CO? I don't think he would mind.

Hmm, our CO told us this week something completely opposite. He said in years past they had given out a list of dates and we got to pick when we wanted to go, but he said this year he was told that we effectively got no say and that we'd go when "they" said, and that would be in the early summer unless we had a really good reason.
We were given the listed dates and told to fill out a dream sheet, but were told that what we chose has no effect on when we go.

I don't think most people have received their orders to API yet; I know my unit hasn't. Holding my breath for this or next week.
Yeah no one in NROTC has gotten orders yet because there is a giant cluster f**k going on with that. We had been told initially that we would all be down there by July at the latest. I'm sure you won't have a problem with finding someone for December with all the August graduates and maybe the December NROTC graduates coming up.
I just talked with my LT about reporting dates which just came out today.
LTs are basically given a spreadsheet with our names and information. We select the month that we want to go down, May thru Sept. There were no actual dates on the sheet, just a month.
There is also a notes section if there are any special circumstances, ie family weddings, or special occasions that would hinder your arrival in Pensacola.
I filled out my preferences today. But it will probably be another long wait until we actually get our dates and orders.
