Still not clear on how to find 1st duty station on AKO?

My husband has now been in AIT for 3 weeks to the day and we've been told there should be SOMETHING on his ako. Alot of others in his company have already gotten there orders, excluding him. I've been everywhere on there and cannot seem to find it. Some one advised me to look on his ERB at the bottom and it should say it on there and the only thing i see is his basic training and MEPS. His AIT station still isnt on there. And then i was also told it could be because its restricted access and it is and i dont know how to get around there. Im really stressing about the move and not having alot of time to find a home. Is it normal or should he know? His MOS is 88m and he is NOT airbourne. His is currently in Fort Lenorwood, MO. PLEASE LET ME KNOW EVERYTHING YOU KNOW! PLEASE!!!!





army wife,

Click on the ASK button. There should be a link in the ASK screen for ';on assignment.'; That's where you look.





There also used to be a phone number you could call 1800 FYI EPMD.

It was an automated system to tell you if you were on assignment, all you need is the SSN. I don't know if it still works.





Don't bother looking at the ERB. Those are always screwed up, until you go to personnel to get them fixed. (Usually this happens about a month before the E-7 promotion board)Still not clear on how to find 1st duty station on AKO?
Your husband will recieve his orders just before he finishes 88M ';truck driving school'; until he recieves his orders there is no telling wher he will go. If you log into his AKO if he has one, you can look on the ASK ( ? Army Satisfaction Key ?) but that is just a list of his requests for Duty stations. the best thing I can reccomend is just for you to relax about where you are going and plan accordingly for the upcoming move. You will need to think about what all you are going to need to leave out of the moving van that you will need for up to a 2 month period of time. You will probalby live in a hotel for a few weeks until you find a house to live in or move into Army housing.


As soon as your husbands Gaining Unit gets word that he will be coming to them you should be contacted by your ';sponsor'; who will assist you with your moving, finding a place to stay as well as learning the Army systems that are in place to help you with your issues.
