How far in advance of 46S Reclassification AIT should I receive follow-on orders?

I have a class date of 8 January for 46S AIT which would be considered a PCS according to my career counselor. Does anyone have an idea for when I would receive my follow on orders or how I could see them if I do? I already have orders for Fort Meade for school . I've heard anywhere from 90 to 60 days out from your school date is when you could receive them but I am not sure.

It's a PCS move, if you have orders to Meade then those are your orders. Unless you mean that you have an ATRRS class reservation which is not orders, then your Career Counselor has to request them.

As to where you'll go after training, your new branch will give you orders sometime in the school house

You are likely to get orders once you have made satisfactory progress through the course. I doubt it is a PCS for a Soldier as the class is about 108 training days. Best of luck and welcome to the career field. Hopefully, you'll pull an assignment to a FORSCOM unit. We have plenty going on. Unsolicited advice to follow: Take care how you handle yourself at DINFOS. This is a very small career filed and you will know those you attend school with the rest of your career.
