What happens if I am unable to report to the Officer Basic Course (OBC) by the designated report date?
If you will be unable to report to OBC by the designated report date, you must contact your HPSP advisor as soon as you receive the orders. Depending on the circumstances, they may choose to amend the orders or leave them as is. If you receive amended orders changing the report date, retain a copy of the original orders. You will need to submit the original as well as the amended orders when you report in. If your orders are not changed, you will be expected to report by the specified date. If you fail to arrive by that date, you will be considered to be absent without leave (AWOL) and subject to punishment in accordance with the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).
