They can’t deny the COS and it doesn’t count weekends so everyone should get a at least 2 weeks. I’d be surprised if anyone would deny your use of annual

I've seen it done lol.

I remember there being like 5 en route classes and 3 terminal.

That many en route classes and I still got terminal? Was hoping for that BUT I’m just excited to get out there and at least can look out a window lol

I'm also married. We have 1 kid. Anyone plan to take their family to the academy?

Hey all, if you have the 10/8/21 terminal basics date I started a thread for anyone looking for study partners, shared hobbies, etc.

10/8/21 terminal class start
This thread is for anyone who accepted the 10/8/21 terminal basics date. You will likely have an OKC date of 11/15/21. This is for help finding study groups, people with similar hobbies, or for anyone seeking a room mate. Introduce yourself and let the convo begin! He all! I’m the OP but wanted...

Wife (married in May), no kids.

I drove here from CLE as well! I drove to St Louis and stayed in a hotel there then continued on to OKC the next dayI

That's what I'm gonna do. Drive for two days with staying somewhere in the middle.

I plan to have them stay put until I know where I am going.

Yep. Wife, 3 kids, 2 dogs. I also bought a house 5 years ago so I've accumulated a ton of crap. Moving is going to be quite an adventure lol

My kids are all in school here so I'll go to OKC alone and have them move when I know where we're headed. It's good to see so many other people with kids going through this same stuff. When I went to basic training at 25 I was the only "older" married guy in a barracks with a bunch of fresh high school grads

I'm considering having my 97 ranger shipped out there from Denver. It's only a 9-10 hour drive, but I'm too afraid it'll break down along the way. Not willing to miss my class date on a gamble like that. I really do want the peace of mind knowing that I can drive myself around during the stay though.

I feel you. I'm driving from COS.

Hey just curious when they sent out new class dates will they ask about your if you worked a new job or anything?

Is it possible to transfer from enroute to terminal a few years down the line after you're fully cleared at your facility for enroute? Would like to have windows to look out of eventually in my career.

The short answer is yes. The more accurate answer is that it's probably not worth it.

Probably not. But you will need to list the new job when you re-apply for security clearance in the future.

Also, does anyone have recommendations for what I can study to prepare going into basics and the academy. I want to have as much of a leg up as possible to prepare myself.
