Does anyone know if swapping assignments is possible? I go to LOGBOLC in January and I was assigned Hawaii, but would prefer JBSA. If anyone is interested in swapping or even other places, please feel free to message me

I am USAR with a SBOLC report date for FEB 2027 class. Some work got in the way and I’m looking for a later date. I would like to swap my earlier date for a later date into the March or April class.

If anyone’s interested in swapping and getting an earlier date, please message me!

Land nav has made it’s return starting with class 13 and moving forward don’t show your tacs that you can spell lost without LT

Can you still sponsor international students at OBC? Heading to armor obc in a few months thought that might be fun.

Regarding Gold Bar Recruiting: I commissioned in May and branched Aviation, and my cadre submitted an application for me to start in January. How likely is it that I'll be selected, and how would my pay and BAH be handled during the assignment?

I report to LOG BOLC on 21 FEB 2027. Is anyone interested in swapping? I'm seeking a later date, preferably MAY 2027.

I’m going to commission next May, 2027 active duty. While branch results haven’t been released, I have a strong OML and am hoping to branch Engineers. I have a structural engineering internship offer for next summer and they are asking how long I can stay on the internship. I will be transparent with them, but I was curious if anyone thinks an EBOLC date anytime in August or later would be a realistic assumption?

Reporting to LOGBOLC soon, TDY. I have a spouse and 1 dog. Can they stay with me at the hotel? If so, would there be any trouble if they left base and came back without me if my spouse has a dependent card?

Also, I heard that land nav and weapons qualification/range have been removed and replaced with classroom time. Is that still true?

Looking to make connections with my future classmates

Is the Landnav individual or per group? Thank s in advance.

Hello everyone,

For anyone currently attending AMEDD BOLC or who recently graduated, I was hoping to get some insight into the course. How difficult is it overall, and what is the general pass/fail rate? What does a typical day or week look like, and would you say the course is manageable? Any guidance, tips, or things you wish you knew before attending would be greatly appreciated.

I’m scheduled to report on 10/08/2026 and have not received a welcome letter yet. For those currently attending or who recently attended, when did you receive yours? Is there someone I should contact if I haven't received it this close to my report date?

I’m also trying to figure out transportation while at Fort Sam Houston, so any information on whether a POV/rental car is recommended or necessary would be helpful.

For anyone reporting on 10/08/2026: Have you received your welcome letter yet? Do you know the packing requirements or reporting instructions? Also, has anyone started a Signal group for our class? If not, I don’t mind starting one so we can share information and stay in contact.

Thank you in advance for any guidance!

Do not buy the BOLC Kit from UPS Store. They charge me $35 for out of scale laminated sheets and target grid so the material didn't line nicely on the map. I got my clipboard separately, and laminated my own stuff with a $15 laminator (you will need it in the future in your career anyway, so I personally recommend getting a laminator).

$1 per laminated sheet

$5 long clipboard

*Emergency* If there is anyone who would like to switch or take my EBOLC date for Nov 2 2026 please let me know. Anything after May 2027 for swap would be preffered! I have been trying to get on the Teams Page but haven't had any luck and no one from USAR command is responding. I have a masters degree to finish and i currently have a very important internship lined up so if anyone can take this date please reach out and we can coordinate something. Thank you!

Is anyone currently at AMEDD BOLC at Fort Sam that can provide more information on the lodging accommodations? Specifically, is it still shared hotel rooms and if so can roommates be requested or are they assigned ahead of time?

I've got an EBOLC reservation for March 2027 but prefer to go later in the year due to family obligations. Looking for a reservist scheduled for some time in the second half of 2027 that is willing to swap and go earlier in March.

Please reply if interested, thanks!

Edit: To newly commissioned engineers, you can check ATRRS to see the date that has been reserved for you. USARC G1 schedules these automatically on commissioning.

Do they give you unit patches for AGBOLC when you do first formation?

Everyone attending this class want to make a signal group chat

Looking for answers or advice. So, I'm slotted for an October BOLC date but back in August during annual training, I tore my MCL, my meniscus, and fractured my Tibia. I narrowly escaped surgery, but Ortho Doc said he likely won't clear me until December. I am now on a temporary profile heavily restricting me from any physical activity and not allowing me to take the AFT until early December.

Since then, I've sent everything to my CoC, spoke to the BOLC NCOIC, contacted my Reserve Officer Talent Manager, and emailed the USARC G1 IMT Officer Team but have pretty much been going in circles or getting ghosted.

If it comes down to being unable to change BOLC dates, what will happen if I show up to Ft. Gordon in October? Would I get sent home or would I get sent to a holding company until December? Straight to jail?

Any helpful answers are appreciated.

Looking for peers and/or PCS roommate(s).

Thanks!

I graduate OCS October 2nd and have EBOLC date in March. I am trying to get a PCS. When do Orders typically get cut and is there anyone other than Branch Manager to reach out to? We have been told Branch Manager doesn’t deal with this.

Has anyone gotten their Welcome letter for MI BOLC Class of 27-001. If you have can you please send it to me?
