   Kuwona, I think I answered this in an earlier post in here, but I'll restate for you. You are not authorized to go to AT until AFTER you've completed Phase II of BOLC. This is because, as far as the unit/Army is concerned, you don't know enough about...

   Scottlin replied to Scottlin's topic in Government

   That's true. I was shocked to see that SEVERAL of the Majors/Captains/Lieutenants in my reserve unit could not even perform or execute standard drill and ceremony maneuvers (even simple commands like "file from the left" and "side-step". I know more ...

   Thanks for the info! I'm beginning to lean towards flying...just to make my trip MUCH shorter. So you guys stayed in hotels on the weekends? I'm surprised they didn't put you up in the barracks on post.

   Stephyfoxx, Unfortunately I injured my shoulder after this thread was started and have been forced to push back my BOLC date until at least November. But, the good thing is that I'll be able to hear about more peoples' experiences (should they find t...

   Well, something tells me it won't be much of a party (prior experience talking)...but it would be nice. :cheers: If anyone else (especially a reservist) has been to Phase 2 after doing Phase 1 online, please post your experience.

    Scottlin replied to Scottlin's topic in Government

    Thank you everyone for your replies. @ sa[RN]ah & mmcgorrian, Drill has been going well. I started out with the usual in-processing frustrations (pay, DEERS, ATTRS enrollment, BOLC, AKO access, etc). There are always some issues to contend with ...

    Lunah, I knew you'd respond! I knew I could count on you! :yelclap: Well, I know that you went through a different class. But I imagine that the experience is similar. I'm wondering if it would even be worth me driving down there since the entire tim...

    My AMEDD recruiter told me that the first selection board will meet on October 18th for the new Fiscal Year. I know that's different than some of the others. I'm wondering if there's a different selection board for Reserve and Active (I'm going for R...
