I am not going (went to RC OBLC in Nov.), but I know of a couple people going in March from the USAGPAN (CRNA program).

I bet you will have a great time..........my closest buddies were right next to me formation, because "you hang with them ALOT"!

Have fun :)

I am going to Ft Sam for OBLC on March 22. I am also a little nervous, but excited. Are you a direct commission or do you have prior service? Me I have no military experience at all, so I am a little anxious about that! Where will you be stationed after graduation?

Hey Grapeape:

I am going to the reserve OBLC in April 2010. While I haven't been through it yet, I know people who have. I am a prior enlisted Marine (OOHRAH!), so my experience level is obviously different than yours. While at SFRR down at Ft. Gillem in February, I asked about OBLC; the following advice was offered: it was recommend that you be physically fit, with an APFT in at least the low 200's. Stamina is always valuable in any military training! Beyond that, get your hands on the Army field manual for Drill and Ceremony. Knowing how to march and execute drill movements will make you stand out among your peers. Most importantly, be MOTIVATED! If you fear something or are weak in an area, seek out a peer who is prior service or appears 'locked on' and ask for help. No one worth serving with/under will refuse you!

I'm told that you make friends at OBLC that you keep for life. I'm looking forward to it!

I'm in the March 22nd OBLC class as well. I'm not a nurse, I'm an OT, but this is the only message board I could find. I found this video on yahoo from the Jan 09 class:
