Is anyone else having trouble getting put on assignment from a re-enlistment? What advice do you have to get the ball rolling?

I re-enlisted for a specific location in July with a tentative report date of 20 Nov 23. I haven’t been put on assignment as of today and I’m just under 60 days. Nothing is in IPERMS or IPPS-A, I have spoken with retention and HRC but HRC won’t help me directly. All I’m being told is to be patient, housing is on a 6 month wait list (so they say). I have spoken to retention, branch manager, HRC, and the soldier center on base. My chain knows also. Anyone have any advice to get the ball rolling.

Are you prepared to walk to a new assignment? Seriously, we don't even know if we will get paid Oct 1, much less have enough cash for anything else!
