In the AGR program, what happens if you’re still waiting to clear Finance and you miss your report date?

I’m so close to entering the AGR program but now I have to wait to clear Finance before I can report to my duty station. The issue is I haven’t been cut orders yet nor have I been contacted by Finance. My report date is in 3 weeks and I have to move from California to Wisconsin. The timeframe is unrealistic and I’m afraid if I miss the report date I will lose the position. Any thoughts?

My first question is how do you have a report date without orders? Other than that, get on the phone with your new unit and explain what is going on. Keep them up to date on everything that happens. They should be able to straighten it out.

Did you receive a letter notifying you of your position? If so there should have been a point of contact listed on the letter. Contact them and get clarification if you have concerns about making your stay date. The procedures have changed since I went AGR in 1985, but I am sure that what will be the biggest hurdle is that you are going between two different systems. You must clear the TPU system before you can inprocess into the AGR. Don't hesitate to contact the TPU chain of that is where your finance problem is occurring

This doesn't make sense to me. If you don't have orders, then you don't have a report date. It's the orders that would give you a report date.
