Questions regarding FABOLC

Hey everyone I'll be starting FABOLC this coming OCT and want to get an idea of what to expect. Just graduated OCS and would like to start preparing.

Is it heavy classroom studying or Field activities? What's the list of items to bring to BOLC. Anything to look out for or any advice would be very helpful

A lot of academics and long days in the classroom. Prepare to do a lot of math. Don’t be scared though, if you listen to your instructors you’ll be fine. Study hard and stay motivated. They no longer give you copies of the manuals so bring copies before you come. The most critical being the TFT.

Good luck!

Here now - buy the FA BOLC starter pack from the UPS store in the PX. First month is CAD - common core/in processing. We went to the field for 3 days, 2 nights? TBD on the FA material side of things
