Question about leaving early for RTC
Ok ladies, I am slightly panicked but I know I might be panicking early...my husband just got a call wanting to know if he was still interested in leaving early for RTC....does this mean that they are asking him to leave? Or is this just a normal protocol to make sure he will/can? Any intell on this would be great! thank you!

If is is "still" interested, that sounds like he told them it was okay, and now there's an opening. Sure, it could mean they want him to go right away. But it might just be the recruiter reviewing paperwork, seeing of the ones who requested early entry are still interested.
He doesn't have to, but it is often better to get it over and done with. Ask him!

its his choice. he can leave early or wait until his original ship off date was. they did the same thing to my husband . we decided to go ahead and get it done with. it was only a week before he was originally suppose to ship out and he ended up being on phold for a week. he was irritated b/c he could have left the original date and been there for less time.

My husband got the same call. There was an opening and he left four days later. But no worries he'll be home sooner that way :) he left two months early. Now he graduates the wesk he was supposed to leave :)

Unfortunately he couldn't get the early date...we had a hiccup with an old bill we didn't really know about and had to pay plus he didn't get to confirm at the office in time since he was at work and they gave the opening away...so, it still won't be till December before he leaves. However, he told them to keep his name on the early to leave list so that if another opening for his rating came up he could get that instead. We have been looking like crazy to make sure there are NO other random misplaced bills so this doesn't happen again! We were both really disappointed...
