Spot on assessment with great detail... I was there the same time as you. I was in 5th plt "SLEDGEHAMMER!" Had an awesome time, but you were correct in saying it sucked while we were there.

Hey Army Mom I'll be going to FT. Sam Houston on Tuesday to by uniforms with my recruiter. Maybe you should think about buying now too. Day trip to San Antonio should be lots of fun.... oh and a trip to Buc-ees! I just love that place.

My recruiter says 6 weeks at BOLC.... San Antonio is a nice city only a 3 hour drive for me, but summers can be a bear. ArmyMom, I would listen to your recruiter. So far mine has been right on the money with his information.

YAHOOOOOOOO! field exercises. Thanks for the info Pixie.

I will be in the reserves. No answer on BOLC yet but when I do know something I'll be sure to post.

Commissioning on Friday, March 21st. My recruiter says we will travel to Ft. Sam Houston to buy uniforms. Seems odd that I will buy uniforms without having any formal Army training. I will repot to my unit and then attend BOLC. Wouldn't it make more since to learn how to be an Army officer then report, but oh well. I will try not to trip over my own shoe laces.

Hi all, Just found out that I'm official. My recruiter just called today... Sunday! Still not clear on how this all works, but found some helpful information here. I'm a 45 year old, 15 year ER/ICU nurse mostly Level 1. Now I'm a director of an ER here in Houston. I was really surprised how easy the application and selection process was. Now I don't know what happens next, but I'll just take it as it comes; however, I will be scoping out this thread.
