Orders yet?

I was wondering when all the guys getting commissioned this May were getting orders to report down to API. Anyone get orders yet? If yes, then when are you classing up? I know a guy in the class of '04 who is starting API in a week...meaning he was stashed for 10 months. I just want to know if I should start preparing myself to be in semi-permanent stash status.

Umm, they told the 05s down here that they will be waiting to class up until all the 04s have. the approximate time frame mentioned was 2 and a half months, but who knows if that will stay that way...

no one here on the site will be able to give you a solid answer. Likewise, no one at API will be able to give you a solid answer. The way they pick who classes up every week, is they have a big board with all the A-pooler's name on it. A monkey then craps in his hand and throws the crap. Whoever it hits, that is who classes up. This process is repeated until they have a full class.

In all honesty, they may tell you that you will class up "next week" about 50 times b4 you actually do. Just go down to Pcola, enjoy the white trash and relax at the bars.

If you are graduating in May, don't expect to get orders anytime soon. They are working out a problem with people going down there who are not physically qualified right now. Until they come up with a solution... no orders.

So far, muster at 0730, back in the rack by 0800. It's rough. I'm doing BOLTC this week, playing golf next week, NOMI and prt/swim screen the last week of March and hopefully classing up the first or second week of April.

API report dates are first Friday of every month from July to November for NFO's...then we chill in A-pool for about two months...not so bad I guess

Got my orders about a month ago

I'm graduating and being commissioned in May and I got my orders about three weeks ago. Getting married in July, so they are TAD to P-cola with follow on PCS to Whiting. Right now I report no later 5 Aug and am supposed to finish API NLT 5 Dec (six weeks of school squeezed into 4 months, sounds like I'll be busy....)

You got orders 3 weeks ago!!?!??!!??

I was told today that my report date is 1 July. I know that seems early, but my class officer told me today that since I'm already doing IFS right now, I should expect to transfer to Pcola immediately after grad. in May. He also said that report dates are one thing, but an API start date is something totally different. (obviously) So, as far as I know, my orders should be coming soon, and I wasn't told anything about follow-on duty location for Primary. Besides, for some reason, the rest of the SNA's are sticking around the unit here until about August or so. Good luck to all, and if anyone has a similar report date....let me know! adios

just so you know, the dates for class up and completiong of API, primary or advanced on orders mean jack sh!t. Put 0 faith in them. Once you get winged then the dates for schools and TAD on your orders will begin to mean something.
 
SNA getting commissioned in May... no orders. The guys from last year in our unit got them in the middle or near the end of April, so I'm not too worried.

Yeah, when I got commissioned in May of last year I recieved my orders in late April, I had a month of stash duty then reported to Pcola in June, and didn't start API til late Oct. Like bch said, school/report dates don't mean a thing. They'll almost certainly change before you get there and once you're there. Welcome to the Navy.

Damn, you guys got orders? Last year the SNA's and SNFO's at my unit got orders in late Feb, no joke. I know the report dates (I posted them up above), but I definitely have no orders. Maybe soon.
