Calm down. CAP cycle is every Tuesday. If not Tuesday, the following Tuesday. Also, choice of duty station assignments can not be less that 180 days from the day you are put on orders. You got plenty of time

CPL Roy Rakestraw that happened to be my first duty assignment as a 2LT Field Artillery Officer. I was there the year the Berlin Wall came down. Both my Dad and his younger brother went there in WWII and the very early 1950s You’re gonna be in a great post to travel and see a lot of Europe. You’re only about 45 minutes or so from the Luxembourg and France. Lots of neat history and culture! Be sure to get out and see what you can on your time off. It’s never too late to start learning some German and French to side in your travels. Best of luck at you next duty station.!

You don't get an assignment letter. HRC hadn't sent out assignment letters for almost two decades now. The last time I got an assignment letter it was 2000.

You will get a notification email from EPMD sometime notifying you that you're on assignment. That's not what allows you to start the orders process. You will get a notification for a levy brief, either online or in person. You'll turn in you 5118 and that starts your part of the process
