I was recently selected (CAAS) and am not AB qualified. I need to know if I can PCS my family to Fort Bragg while I am in AB school.

I am going to AB 21 MAR and am currently stationed at Ft. Hood. My report to Bragg is 15 APR. Will I be able to get housing for my family before AB school?

Is airborne a prerequisite to be assigned to the position you're filling when you get to Bragg? I only say this because if it is and for some reason you didn't make it and were reassigned by HRC which usually happens then I would say no. The other thing to consider, do your orders say TDY enroute or return?

I was in the same situation and went ahead and PCSed to Bragg prior to airborne, didn't seem to be an issue, even though my orders were TDY enroute.

Yes you should be able to PCS to Bragg. Policy on this changes over time though, the last two Soldiers we received from the school house went to Airborne school after CAQC. If you are still in touch with the CA recruiter on your post he/she should be able to give you the most updated information.

To speak to your question 1SG, Airborne school is a prerequisite for the MOS.

UPDATE: I made it to Bragg. We are situated in housing. My AB date is coming up soon. Can't wait. Thank all of you for your responses.
