Schmika Hi, I'll be there during your class dates. Are you 70b? My email is [email protected]

Hi Spencer, I'm on your class and have the same report date. Shoot me an email. I'm actually going with friend that I've known for a couple years that commissioned at the same time. It's a huge relief to know someone! Best of luck to you. Just put BOLC

Hi Schmicka, I'll be going to BOLC in August as well! Looking forward to connecting with everyone! Would love to hear about your experience getting a social worker slot.

Chudder- Can you be more specific on the PT? What the max distance that you ran while there? I've already passed my PT test with my unit and am working out regularly. I'd like more information so I know if I'm on target or not. Thanks!

Hi Kuwona, What University or Program did you go through for Clinical Psych? I'm in the process of researching schools. I have my masters in counseling psychology and was bummed that you either have to have an MSW or doctorate in psychology. Any information would be appreciated!

Kuwona- I've been in the reserves since March so I don't know anything well enough to advise other just yet BUT I am scheduled to do AT before BOLC. Also, I elected to do additional duty in conjunction with my AT and have already been given orders for this. So, to answer your question it is possible because I'm doing it. I went through the Unit Administrator to do this. I'm not sure what the chain is or who actually makes the decision. would ask around! Best of luck to you! To answer your other questions....I emailed BOLC directly and the training we receive in BOLC does NOT count toward annual training. I would do as many days as you can with your unit before BOLC. I have learned a ton, my uniforms are good to go, and I feel way more prepared. They might even surprise you with some additional help! My unit's been going over DNC (Drill and Ceremony) and some other basics that direct commission soldiers miss.

Hi All, I'm a direct commissioned reservist (70B) that will be attending BOLC August 2012. Looking forward to it & am pretty happy to catch all the pointers thrown out on the blogs. I have a couple questions that I'm hoping someone can answer. 1. Do you need a laptop and printer for BOLC? Are there any computer labs that we can use on FT. Sam? I'm a reservist assigned to a unit in Germany so it's not as easy as throwing my desktop & printer in the trunk of the car. 2. Can we check in a couple days early? I'll be fighting Jetlag when I come in and would prefer to be there a day or two in advance to get over the hump. 3. While attening BOLC do soldiers receive BAH or any other allowances? Want to keep my finances straight... 4. Will I be reimbursed for the dress uniform if I buy it ahead of time before BOLC? I've read that it's better to get everything in advance since we'll be competing with a million others looking for the same sizes, etc. 5. Anyone else already attending drills before BOLC? I'm scheduled to attend Annual Training a couple weeks before BOLC and have been told conflicting things about that. Some say that BOLC counts toward the AT requirement and others say it doesn't. Just looking for the straight answer.
