My current understanding it 5 and 12 May classes, and no 28 April class. To clarify, what he meant to say is the all 7 of the folks who were hired on the 14th of November got the May 12th class.

Many thanks for the advice.
Ultimate goal is to get out west (SLC or SEA), but I'm aware that will take some time. I'm retiring out of the military in CA and have to move by the end of the summer (base housing), so the intent is to live in domicile in order to maximize QOL. Fortunately the family is onboard with any of the junior bases (NYC, ATL or DTW). The challenge right now is knowing that we'll likely need to clear out of housing and set up camp at my in-laws until I finally start class. A good "problem" to have, though, so I'm just trying to stay patient and learn as much as I can about the lay of the land.
And since I'm originally from NY (upstate anyway), this is always good to hear

:Since you've got a hole-up position, what about leaving your HHG in temp storage, put essentials in a trailer, and wait till you get a good picture of what's going on before making your next move?
Then, figure out which junior base is your favorite and find a short-term lease. Then, in the odd chance you get an opportunity to grab a seat out West within that 1yr clock, you're still "agile" and haven't burned your final HHG move.

Got it. That makes more sense. With class sizes of 24-25 I can see how they could encompass all the 14 Nov - 3 Dec into the same class.

I have a few buds who are, have been, or expect to be in the same boat - retiring and "homeless" during class (We were blessed to have our last station where we plan to live for the foreseeable future).

). Hence the point of my original post, trying to get a sense of what the situation's like for a NYC-based pilot living in base. Again, thanks to all for your advice.

Great advice as well, and pretty much what we're planning on doing. Our additional "degree of difficulty", however, is a rising High School Junior. With that in mind, we're figuring we'll move to one of the junior domiciles (NYC, DTW or ATL) for at least two years (and probably five, since that will get Dash-2 through HS as well) before making the final move out west (unless we grow to love NYC or DTW ).

There are differing opinions about putting personal stuff on the company tablet. Me, I think I'll avoid it.
