March BOLC

Published

This is a thread for all of the people that are going to BOLC at Ft. Sam Houston in March 2011. Feel free to ask questions, make friends, etc.

Anyone familiar with Ft Sam know where I would be able to find Inspection Ready Berets? Why go through the hassle if I don't have to right? Thanks!

Inspection Ready Berets?/ Are you authorized to wear them?

I sure hope so. My recruiter took me to get one but they were sold out at Ft Meade so he told me to find one at Ft Sam when I got here. How can I find out if I'm authorized or not?

Thanks.

Go to Kim's. It's outside the gate closest to AMEDD school.

I've been here for 2 weeks & pleased the weather has been pretty nice for SA...just how I had hoped. I thought I was pretty, dang good at maps & then have been having fun getting lost at FSH ever since I got here, lol.

As for PT, I am more than likely one of the ones that won't be meeting my PT test baseline first go around, so I've just been praying that I get past the first one w/out embarassing myself completely, ha. I've just had so much to do over the past couple months & dropped my routine because of traveling, etc, between all my work days & so have not been able to get into my normal workout routine for a while....Wahhhhh! I'm definitely not running my minutes...! We'll get through it!!!!! :)
