Why am I the only one without a projected duty station in my ERB?

2019-12-07T18:19:47-05:00

I have finished AIT and am attending DLI. Everybody else in my class has their projected duty station, even those who are going to AIT after learning their language. I however, am the only one that has not and the only thing I can think is different is that I have jump school in my contract. Would that keep them from giving me a duty station? Im just a little excited to see where I'm headed.

(Edit: I asked this too soon! I've been assigned to Fort Bragg as expected)

Honestly due to the length of DLI and Jump they have not projected you out that far yet.

Your orders will take longer because you will attend Airborne school in a TDY Enroute status to your next duty station. There's a little more work that goes into producing your special instructions in your orders

Yup. You have more training ahead, I assume the others do not. When I finished at DLI, I still had Interrogation Training at Ft. Huachuca ahead of me so I didn't find out my permanent party assignment until finishing Interrogation school.
