Why would my ship date be pushed back?

I logged into my future soldier page to finish the testing lessons they have and it pushed my shipping date from next week to the following week. I called my recruiter and he said they didnt get an email but he will check Monday. What could be the reason?

My guess would to ship with other new recruits at the same time.

Are you a green card holder? I heard rumors that they were going to push back green card holders ship dates. I am also worried about this since I'm a green card holder and my ship date is in 9 days and I have quit my job so really can't afford for it to be pushed back. Once again it's just a rumor so take what I say with a grain of salt.

What you're special? Many reason, no slots, no instructors, full classes. Welcome to "Hurry Up and Wait!" It could just be a scheduling problem or maybe a problem with you- only the recruiter will know.
