I commissioned back in December, the Friday before Christmas and I am still waiting on my orders. Anyone else still waiting on their orders as well?
Granted, I had to re-sign my contract almost a month later and was told that would delay my orders. As a background, I was direct commission as a critical care nurse in the Army Reserves. Thanks for any input.

I was in a similar situation, the best place to follow up is with HRC - go to the Army Nurse Corps section and get in touch with an assignment officer. You will need CAC access for this but from my experience they are all very friendly, helpful and should be able to point you to the right direction. Goodluck

I don’t have a CAC card yet because I’m waiting on orders. I’ve been out of The Marines for more than 10 years so I am civilian to direct commission. Thanks for the input.

I need to stop using my phone with this app. Auto correct is screwing me up here.

I was commissioned in Dec and got my orders the second week of Jan. Granted I was commissioned through ROTC and am Regular Army, but I kept in contact with HRC till I got my orders. Like everyone else is saying call HRC and ask them about your orders, if you don’t get a direct answer try to get in contact with a tier 2 person instead of the call center people.

Throughout the recruiting process I didn’t have any contact or access to HRC. My only source of info was my recruiter and RallyPoint. Since I am a direct commission there is a lot I need to learn. Thank you for the info.

Here’s their number [login to see] . They are located at Ft. Knox KY and I believe their regular hours are from 0800-1730. You can just call them and ask all your questions about your orders and they will help guide you. That’s what I did.

I'm in a similar situation also. I'm civilian to direct commission, Reserves (70B), commissioned in November and still waiting on orders. I've had a few forms kicked back for correction, but have not received word on when my orders will be processed and available. My recruiter is on paternity leave, so I'm kind of just waiting in limbo. Good luck to you 1LT Jeremy J!

Update: My recruiter let me know today that I have been approved for orders and should receive them in the next day or two. Have you received any information 1LT?
