I don't want to get up too much false hope. My AIT is only 5 months, so I might be SOL. And being a new entrant into the Army and reservist I didn't want to rock any boats. The army way of things will be hitting me from all directions.
If I can’t time the purchase and taking possession of the firearm as I walked out the graduation door to my civilian destination then I probably won't purse it.
Three things need to happen.
1) I need the magic orders.
2) I need to be able to bring my car back after the winter break (I’m not going to deal with trying to ship it or fly with it).
3) I need to have the free time to make the purchase.
This has been very informative, and I hope other military newbs like myself got something out of it.
