How does he find out when he leaves for Airborne school?

Asked by chelle21689 (7907points) June 6th, 2010

Hey guys I have a quick question. I last visited my bf in late April. It’s due for another visit in July but I don’t know when I can fly out to see him. I can’t go earlier in July because of work and someone else on vacation during the time…and I’m scared to schedule seeing my bf later on in July because he leaves for Airborne school late July.

I asked him when is the exact date and he says he doesn’t know. I asked his battles and they have no idea too. Everyone just says “sometime in late July”. I told my bf to ask whoever was in charge of the Army thing and he said they didn’t know either. It’s frustrating, shouldn’t they know? I mean they have about a month left, they should know when they are leaving for Airborne school!

Right?

A wild guess: since it is a military thing, it could be that that information is classified.

It’s not like it’s top secret right? lol Do you have any idea when they might let them know they’ll be leaving?

If he tells you, he’ll have to kill you.

It is very likely that he and/or the people in charge do not know the exact date. You are going to have to err on the side of caution.

Exact dates aren’t given until their orders are written. Sometimes orders are given months in advance, other times they are given a week before the date, it really depends on when the class is going to happen and what’d going on with the current class. Sometimes dates get moved around and changed quite a bit. If you decide to book a ticket to go see him, make sure you get one that will allow you to change the dates if necessary. That way you don’t lose out on your money or ticket if something happens.

The dates of the schools are set many months in advance. He should get his exact orders at least 30 days in advance, so he should know in 3 weeks or so.
