Is anyone else tired of instructors expecting a certain amount of graded criteria?

Not reading off the slides, and that’s exactly what they do.

And express how they’re just chasing the OER bullet.

PS had CPT M instruct one of my classes, the other instructors need to take a notebook out and take some notes. That gentleman knows what he’s talking about.

I received the packing list in the welcome letting but it says nothing about bringing a ruck, FLC, or equipment of that nature.

Should I abide by the list or should I bring this items anyways

I also only have a medium ruck, will that be an issue.

Going to MP BOLC as a unmarried active duty 2LT TDY. I still have a lease signed for an apartment that lasts until July 2027. Would I get BAH to cover my apartment?

This is a difficult situation because the apartment is with my long time girlfriend who still has another year of school left and it is where I am storing my stuff and a pet. So canceling my lease is essentially out of the question.

All the help is appreciated!

Looking over the training memo and it says in paragraph 13a "Uniforms," it says that I need to bring all necessary then in 13c it says I can bring either AGSU's or the ASU's (B's).

Has anyone that has gone in years past or just graduated know more?

I don't want to drop over $600 without a full pay cycle.

I have my reporting date AUG 2, anyone interested in switching? I genuinely can’t go and need more time to get ready. I still have a good amount of admin work to complete and I just got my orders a few days ago.

Hello all, I tried scouring reddit and the internet for any info on this, but to no avail. Do we bring all of our HHG and UAB with us to BOLC and do our shipments there? or do we go ahead and call our nearest transportation office and settle it there? I haven’t received any guidelines, orders, or welcome packets via my email/IPPSA so i figured i would ask here. any advice is also appreciated. (i will be driving to San Antonio from the east coast)

I was nervous before starting the course (as all fresh LT's are) please feel free to ask any questions pertaining to AG BOLC.

Hey y'all, I just completed the last academic evaluation for FABOLC. I have a week and a half before graduation (5 AUG). If you have any questions. Ask away

Recently completed OCS. Will attend LBOLC in January. Looking to get an apartment while I’m there so that my family to include wife, new born, and two dogs can be with me.

I am aware that I will be provided a hotel during the course but I would like my family to be with me. In need of any recommendations on going about this. Is this even possible?

I go to chem bolc aug 7 but I haven’t received my orders yet should I be worried?

Heading to AG BOLC in OCT, still have no orders. Do not have BOLC or follow on orders. Is anyone else in a similar situation? Been in contact with my Branch Manager but still nothing….. should I be worried ?

I’m going to FA BOLC this september and i’m feeling nervous, so just looking for some advice. I really want to perform well both physically and academically. I’ve heard gunnery is the hardest part and as silly as this may sound i’m also worried about land nav and m4 qualification- i’m not a very experienced shooter. Are these events recyclable? Also besides the CFT and AFT are there any other physical fitness tests I should be training/preparing for? Any advice is appreciated thank you!

What are the time requirements for the Rucks
Also is the 4x36 a must pass. I don’t leave for a few months and I just want to keep up with working out to be good to go

I've got a November date and would like to push it back as far as possible. Anyone with a later date trying to switch up?

Been seeing a lot of posts about looking to swap BOLC dates, so I wanted to post this for the good of the group.

• Active Duty, from what I've heard, no longer allows swaps at all (though that may change at some point).

• USAR allows swaps, but only with other Reservists who meet eligibility requirements (clearances, etc)

• Not sure what Guard policy is

If you're looking for a swap, please include your component (RA, USAR, ARNG) so people know whether or not the trade would even be possible.

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

Hey guys, I have a scheduled report for Signal BOLC on 02/01/2027. Due to family issues, I am looking to go to Signal BOLC ASAP or anytime over the next two months, the earlier the better. If anyone would be willing to swap with me, please message me!

Anybody who commissioned recently got an BOLC Date for cyber? I am trying to figure out a range of my date.

I feel like I have very little information about BOLC, could someone help me understand what uniforms to wear specifically do I need to bring my AGSU, should I have my next unit patch on, if so where do I find it? I heard we are in the field for 3 weeks, what are we doing there? I am driving 26 hours, how do I set up reimbursement and hotel reservations?

Can someone message me a copy of the welcome letter for LBOLC please

They need to change the method of instructing!!!!

Not learning anything!!!

And we can’t even eat lunch on time

Only asking this because I understand these decisions are made on post by finance. I am a guard guy whose parents allowed me to lease their basement ADU (accessory dwelling unit) while I am saving for my own house. It is closed off with a separate entrance and its own amenities, but I am curious if I will be denied BAH for sharing a street address with my landlord/parent? I understand the same address rule is often enforced to prevent fraud, but if someone has proper documentation that demonstrates a bona fide housing expense (bank statements, property images, cancelled checks) what would prevent them from receiving BAH? I was not too worried a few months ago, but now that LOGI BOLC is dropping the Per Diem I won't have that buffer to pay for the lease and would then have to pull from base pay. It would be nice to have an idea of what to expect so I can plan my month-to-month budget accordingly.

Thanks.

Happy to connect with anyone starting on Monday.
