Thanks to the mods for merging these, will hopefully be helpful to other Lt's coming online soon. I think my case is resolved, Officer Accessions sent my orders over a month ago and apparently my Det f'ed up and didn't know it. Moral of the story - always verify your stuff on your own if you can, even if you trust your cadre. Mine have been very solid up to this point, but this headache could have been prevented.

Oh trust me, that's has been my mantra for the last few months. I literally hadn't spoken to my Det in about 3 months leading up to yesterday. I understand the paper orders are the vital thing here, the fact they are arguably "late" is why I'm starting to worry again. Bottom line is I'm not bothered so much by the delays as I am about how no one seems to know what is going on, and aren't keen on trying to find out. For what it's worth I called up the APFC hotline in the evening to see what they could tell me, and the very helpful tech told me that my orders were listed as having actually been sent to the Det back in September! Also said that there were incomplete portions on my records, whatever that means. He gave my the officer accessions # so I'll inquire in the morning. Assuming from the former though, my Det either overlooked my package, lost it, or something else happened I can't think of, but they should have told me back in September. Not too pleased about that.

Looking for a little perspective... Commissioned May 2011, EAD was originally 30 Sept, then Oct 8, then moved to Jan 28 where it currently stands. My IFS and UPT (Columbus) dates are 28 Feb and 24 April, respectively. From what I've seen here and from my classmates, orders should be cut ~30 days from EAD. As it stands I'm just outside of two weeks from my EAD, but I haven't received orders yet and the NCOs at my Det keep telling me that all they can do is wait to hear from AFPC. Did anyone else have this happen? All the other pilots from my commissioning class have EAD'd already. Also, since I'm pushing up close on my IFS date, don't I HAVE to EAD before then? It seems totally senseless for AETC to have to give my slot to someone else just because AFPC has shit for brains.
