Yes everyone who is going to school or PCS is having the same issues. There's a stop movement on all military personnel until May but could be extended. I was supposed to be TDY this week for school but it was cancelled and I'm still waiting on a new school date.

Look kid, we have soldiers dying of this virus, we have 1,000,s of troops oversea with Permanent Change of Station (PCS) for overseas and to come back stateside, plus troopos wainting to get out and they are ALL stuck in limbo, just like you, I suggest you learn to wait, and not whine- this is much bigger than just you son.

The Magic 8 ball tells me that soon the Army will realize that the Virus is not going away and we, as an Army, will need to continue to operate in an environment where there is a risk of Soldiers getting sick.

The military is on a huge holding pattern. The focus is the collective safety of the military and individual movement has low priority.

Sincere Myers Just My Nature as a Navy Spook, Need a Little Clarification, is this a General Question on the Situation as a Whole or do You have Coronavirus COVID-19. If You have Coronavirus COVID-19 and Gain Immunity/Survive, That's a Plus in the Military, We're constantly giving shots to give our Folks as Much Immunity as We Can.
