I graduated from BCT and AIT 3 months ago but i was a holdover for my profile so i got my RTD on december 6th. and it still shows that i don’t have orders even though it’s been a month...... also i HAD orders to fort drum but i’ve been here for so long it just disappeared... do you think i should be going back if i was to get my orders. i talked to my sergeant who does the order paperwork and he still hasn’t gotten an update. was wondering what i can do on my part to get orders?

1. Wait patiently.
2. You are getting all of your benefits while you wait. You still get pay, medical etc. Make use of the time to better yourself.
3. Keep checking each week with the orders Sergeant. They will come in eventually.

That sounds like a rational approach.

1. Take it easy.
2. If you are RTD then check with your unit leadership for order status. Perhaps your branch manager is waiting for a PCS cycle.
3. Look at it on a positive way, unless you really like the outdoors, Ft. Drum is near nowhere!

So, I just read my question I posted and realized it makes no sense. I'm shipping in February so I'm new to all of this. What is a profile and why would they hold you over for it??

A profile is when a soldier is ill and placed on some sort of light duty, limiting his/her day to day performance; only task that wont hurt him/her further . In the aforementioned case, the soldier suffered something for which medical personnel decided to keep him until fully recovered and then Return to Duty (RTD).
