Default Graduated bootcamp

Graduated a week ago. This site was a lot of help and full of great info. So I'm here to return the favor, and help as many people as possible. Boom! I'm an MA, and currently at lackland.

I leave for great lakes in 9 days. And after that ill be headed to lackland for MA A school as well. First off Congratulations! I have a couple questions if you get a chance to answer them. How many processing days did you have at basic? How many days did it take to class at A school?

I've heard a couple horror stories from recent grads about 2 1/2 weeks of processing days at basic, and A school I've heard a couple weeks to a month and one person said 5 months.

I haven't been to basic yet but I've never heard of 5 months for processing. You'll be put on P hold if there's not enough people there to fill your division but once your division is filled you'll start pdays and it shouldn't be more than like 5 days or something like that. But I've heard of ppl being on p hold from a day to like a week. All depends on when people arrive I guess.

I spent a week and a half in P-hold at basic. We had to wait for other females, for our division to form up ( we were integrated, it was awful). Those will be the most boring weeks of your life. But you can build some good friendships during that time.

As for MA-School, it took me one week. I don't know of anyone who had waited 5 months or even one month. There could be cases, due to the government shut down issues. But things seem to be headed in the right direction now.
