Tejas,

You got any info on BOLC A & B and how that all goes? My understanding is that after OCS, you go to your BOLC courses and then are assigned to whatever unit you're going to? Also, being that i'll be a boot-arse LT, do I have any ability to request which duty station I can go to?

OCS is BOLC A now.

BOLC B is your AOC. For example, E-BOLC is Engineer-Basic Officer Leaders Course or BOLC B.

After you complete BOLC B you'll get a unit assignment. That'll probably come 2-3 weeks before graduation.

If you go Infantry, Engineer, Armor, expect the fun games to continue at least for half your course. For prior service, like me, it got annoying after awhile. There's a difference in training for a purpose and just doing dumb shite because someone wants to do dumb shite.

Edit:

Also, this thread took a weird turn last night/this morning. was with the rape talk?

Cajun is correct on BOLC.

As far as assignments go - as a 2LT they'll send you wherever they feel like sending you. They might ask you to list your top choices for duty station but all that does is make people mad when they get sent somewhere they didn't list.
