How Do Military Flights Work?

I’m currently waiting for orders (anywhere from 72hrs to 5 business days), Don’t you wait months after you get your orders to actually leave? Just Curious

To go where? The type of travel you are conducting affects this answer.

Due to the topics tagged I am guessing you are pending discharge and waiting for the flight home. Once you have orders you work with travel to get your arrangements squared away. If you are getting discharged I don't see how/why you would be pending a flight for months. I don't understand the context but that seems unrealistic.

It's not a military flight, it's a civilian flight. You'll get separation orders that will give you a separation date. You'll fly out that day on a civilian carrier
