Still not clear on how to find our 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,

You can check in his personal file, that you can find on the AKO under the human Resource Command I think, in there you should find a tag that says assignments. In there if it does not state on assignment with a date and place, that means it is yet to be determined where he is going. And please dont stress out about moving, I have moved with the military twice with less than 2 weeks notice and everything worked out just fine. As an Army wife, get used to surprises and take nothing for granted unless you have it in writing. Thousands of Army families move evry year, there are resources available for you. check out www.militaryonesource.com or call them at 1-800-342-9647 they have great resources and once you know where you are going, check out www.militaryhomefront.dod.mil for great tips on moving and relocating.





Also, most posts have so called Relocation Assistance as well as housing and housing referral offices that you can contact before getting to your new post. For housing keep in mind that the Army urges you to go through their referral office to find a place to stay, because they have been ';screened to an extend and housing will make sure they have ';military clauses'; in the lease which will let you out of a lease if your hubby gets reassigned.





One more thing, try to take the AFTB (Army Family Team Building- stupid name for a great program) classes, they are sort of Army 101 for spouses, very informative, plus you can meet new people. AFTB is part of ACS (army Community Services) check them out they have a lot of different things to offer, including relocation assistance and always an opern ear for questions and concerns.





Good luck
