My grandson enlisted in the Air National Guard this past spring. I asked his father the other day when he would be going to basic training and he said they weren't sure yet, but it would probably be sometime in October. And what about tech school? They have no idea when that is either.

WTF? How can they not know when he's going to basic, months after he got sworn in?

Back when I enlisted in the AF 44 years ago, the recruiter had everything lined up when I raised my hand. Date for basic, date for tech school, etc.

Is this normal for the Air Guard?

Thanks.

Call the recruiter or the unit to get the skinny on your grandson.

Thanks. I appreciate it.

Kid still in school? 17?

Delayed Entry Program can be vague on times.

I did the Delayed Entry as well due to going to college but I had a rough idea the following year of when I'd go.  We knew it would be May timeframe so I could be back for fall semester.  It wasn't until April before I knew my exact dates.
