When I chose to wait, my HR rep also said that getting us to the Academy was a priority, and we'd be the first to go when it reopened. They called to give me the option, gave me some info and told me to think about it. When I called back with my answer, they reiterated that waiting made us a priority. But it also seems like info varies from rep to rep.I mean the rumor that I'm contesting is that those who do NOT take online basics will go to the academy first...so even if we took basics online, they'll get to their facility before the online guys do. I wish I could see that on paper, it makes no sense to me whatsoever.
