Mostly EM (Mob.Nr.) were handed over to the pilot at the end of their operational training. So transfer to an JG would happen within a few weeks. The EM-lists will tell you which batch of EM's was given to the pilots at a certain date/month. Unfortunately these lists are not easily accessible (the ones that survived are at the WASt). You will not find an exact date when the pilot transferred to an JG in these lists. You will need Wehrpaß, Soldbuch, etc. for that or other info such like letters written home. However, the EM's give you a reasonable good identication for a month if you have sufficent data from others in the same EM number range.
