See my blog via my profile.

It shows descriptions of each of the FTXs, events, and has pictures about what the night-life is like in and around San Antonio, TX.

More pictures of OBLC Class 09-901 here: http://flickr.com/photos/j3ku/sets/72157608528025858/

Hope it's a lot of help! I was glad to find different experiences about OBLC on this forum site and around blogger and myspace. For those making blogs/sharing your experiences, THANK YOU. It really helped me out and I'm returning the favor by sharing my experience.

I will be done next week. This weekend is TNCC.

how much does the dress blues cost, I saw them on the net for 400-600, do the RC people need to get them?

if you go on the OBLC website, you will get a packing list and you will get to read the welcome letter that they send to you. Also, you do not need dress blues (Class A's) for OBLC. you graduate/ do everything in your ACU's.

May I suggest, if you haven't already getting a copy of the Army Officers Handbook (the new edition 51st) comes out next month---author is LTC Keith Bonn (Ret.)

Having completed OBLC one week ago, you do not "need" dress blues, but you will need them for inspection. Blues were required for active duty personnel. Class A's were required for reserve/guard inspection.

As you can see in the flickr album our graduation was in ACUs.

A $600 clothing allowance will be offered during in-processing to help pay for your blues.

Hang in there. There is a lot of waiting in the military, but all good things come to those who wait. =)
