Headed to fort Riley tomorrow for Pcs. At which point am I no longer in AIT or when can I leave if my DA31 says I'm authorized to leave starting today?

Also, will the replacement company assign me a sponsor? My losing unit and everyone I've called at Riley have no idea.

Once you are assigned to a unit when you get to replacement, you will either be bussed to your unit or someone from that unit will come and pick you up to take you to the unit. Your leave depends on whether you are flying there on the Govts dime or you are driving; if govt paying you leave tomorrow, if you are driving you should be able to leave today.

I am stationed at Ft. Riley. Your incoming unit already knows you are arriving. They are big on sponsorship here. One of the division commander's pet peeves. If you haven't already heard from your sponsor, I can guarantee that you will very soon after arrival and signing in to the replacement center. If you have any questions about the area don't hesitate to ask me.

So I am PCSing to Ft Riley after I complete 25D training, I am curious as to when I will be assigned to a unit and if anyone can let me know how things will work around there. If sponsors are a big thing there then that will be extremely helpful. I know I won't be there for a while as I don't graduate 25D until December but I am just trying to get a jump on things and begin planning for myself and my family.
