SSG Mackley, check with your BN S1 to see if you have CAPed yet. Sometimes a Soldier is placed on assignment instructions, but it doesn't hit your ERB for a bit. Your S1 should be able to see if you are on A/I. If you are not, then I would go see your 1SG. Sometimes, 1SGs and CSMs have a better track record of getting in touch with PDNCOs. Good luck.

I do understand SFC Rodgers is not answering the phone I called 1SG number and that is the only way I got threw to them. But I still have not seen no orders yet from branch and I requested Korea.

I would recommend engaging your 1SG and then your CSM…after you hit 90 days out.  I'm sure one of them can get in touch with either your branch manager…or his/her boss.<div><br></div><div>I've received orders anywhere from 45 days out earlier in my career to receiving my last RFO 14 months out.</div>

Normally i would probably not be in such a rush but im having to send my wife who is just about into her 3rd trimester back to florida to live with her parents until they can figure this out. I dont have a HAAP so no living arrangements are arranged. Its stressful because ill have to move her again once they issue me orders. Ive been trying to work this out with branch since mid-november.

As a Quartermaster Soldier your branch will rarely answer an email. Be it from a Career Counselor, 1SG or even a CSM. Good luck. QM Corps is ruthless and you unfortunately are just a number to them.

One of the things I always do when I cannot get through to my Branch Manager is call one of the other branch managers. They all work in the same area and are more than glad to patch you through, this also will tell you if they are in the office or out TDY without wondering if they are.
