This is a direct quote from the rules book pg.16

"A player can always to p=
ass on an opportunity to shoot, waiting until later in the shooting phase."=


Nowhere else in the rules book or battles book does it mention waiting to=
 shoot. A detachment that waits still has the chance to shoot that turn (p=
ending the double pass question).

Allright, here it is folks. In the books, when it says a detachment ma=
y chose to
pass, that detachment losses that turn. There is no waiting. The=
 only waiting
that you are allowed to do is fire with other detachments, sa=
ving skimmers (and
the counter attack for the skimmers) as your last shots =
of the round. But you
can't wait all turn for him to fire, and then fire al=
l your guys, because
skimmers can abuse that too much.

The only time you c=
an get someone to move before you is in the movement phase
when you have in=
iative.
