Yes, ideally that will be my plan. However, I have heard that they don't let you do that. Whether it is true or not is pretty questionable. Can anyone verify?


Yes, true. Once you get BOLTC, NAMI, helmet fit, PRT done, then you can take leave to your hearts content! But the but kicker is that when I got here July 9th, there was a wait for NAMI, a wait for BOLTC, etc etc. So I didn't even start doing any of my stuff until the middle of August or so, if I recall correctly.

Don't I have to go through NAMI at the beginning of OCS? Do they make you do it AGAIN for API? Thanks for the reply :).

Okay that is what I suspected and it makes a lot more sense... It's a little early to know for sure but I expect that I'll get all checked in at API and get started waiting on A-pool and THEN go and ask for leave. Hopefully I'll be ahead of the ROTC/Academy guys and won't have to wait as long as you did :).

just the facts - Academy '04 grad, 28 May, arrived in Pensacola 09 Jul, started API late September, finished 12 Nov, got to Vance AFB 19 Nov; will class up on 06 Jan 05, will graduate primary/select 29 Jul 05. As you can see, I had a pretty long wait in spite of going to an Air Force base, but there was a hurricane in the middle of all that.

Hell I got to Pensacola 18 Jun and didn't start API til 22 Oct. I know someone who got here then as well and is still waiting to start API, and he's not in ISO. THey quit starting Corpus bound guys cause they're backed up. Your wait was short.
