How long after graduating AIT should I have to wait for my orders?

Just curious, I graduated AIT and I'm waiting on my orders for Japan. I've been waiting for 3 weeks now and for all 3 weeks they have been on "Port Call". Is there potentially something wrong with my orders or is this something that happens and it's just a waiting game?

Same thing with me. I’ve been a hold over for a week. I was suppose to ship out to my FDS but something happened to my orders. I might have to stay here till January

LTC Kevin B. & SGM Erik Marquez - Do you guys have any insight into this young troop's question? I know the Army loves it's hurry up and wait games but one would think that 2 weeks would be plenty of time. Not sure what sort of hold up there would be causing a 3-week delay.

Man, I'm sorry that's happening to you. I've never heard of this though. People usually get their orders a few weeks before graduation of AIT. Hopefully all is well. Keep us updated.

We are in the same situation with our Solider. Any information would be greatly appreciative.
