What branch are you in, and what's your MOS? A friend of mine just made Lance Corporal in the Corp a year out of high school. He just got sent to Afghanistan to deal with explosives, landmines I think.

Congratulations! I once had orders to Osan, also, but they were redlined. I had my orders for about 6 months and I was 2 weeks from departing when I received the redline. My AFSC was 81150 (Security Police) and I didn't have Air Base Ground Defense training. I was scheduled to go to the training for about 6 weeks and then onto Osan. However, the U.S.A.F. got real cheap and found some SPs who already had ABGD training and sent them instead.

However, a few months after my orders were cancelled, I met the woman who I'm now married to. I guess things happen for a reason. However, I was planning on loading up on lots of electronics and other goodies.

Good luck with your assignment - and promotion to TSGT! After 4 years of active duty, I served in the Air National Guard for 3 years. About 2 years into the ANG assignment, I put on TSGT. Then again, promotions in the Guard are a little easier to receive.

Sweet. I always wanted to fly some F-16s and stuff.

Congrats and thanks for protecting our country

Congratulations!!

Is it common to get orders that far in advance?

I made E-5 in a bit under 2 years, but I guess it made a big difference that it was during Nam.
