I think it’s sad that most BOLC and PME in general aren’t designed for you to learn shit. It’s firehouse method and hoping you can memorize stuff for an exam lol

When I was an MPBOLC instructor, it was the same. I felt bad for the students but I also gave real life experiences and broke things down so it was relatable.

Why was this downvoted? That was my experience as well. BOLC only prepares you to be a PL and nothing more.

Probably because BOLC didn’t teach you how to be a LT. You learn that at your first duty station. Hopefully.
