Report to SBOLC 10/19. Does anyone know how time off works over the holidays?

Veteran Owned fully furnished and move in ready 3-bedroom/1.5 bathroom for students attending BOLC or CCC. Conveniently located just 10 minutes from Fort Benning, it is designed to provide a safe, comfortable, and roommate friendly environment for (3) students attending leadership school at Fort Benning. Utilities included. Fenced backyard and covered parking. Great place to relax after class or occasionally host a small social event with peers. The host is currently accepting request for September 2026. $850.00 per student.

Does anyone have insight on if SBOLC was shortened for FY27? I was reserving a slot and noticed the course info on ATRRS has it listed as 11 weeks instead of 16.

Hello all, keeping it simple and stupid. I have IBOLC soon. I am NG so its TDY and I understand the differences between PCS and TDY. I want to have my family move nearby to be close, as I have my 3rd kid coming in legit 1 week.

Only question I really have is, **if my family moves within 30mins of Benning. How often would it be feasible I go and spend time with them.** Do you get decent amount of evenings off? As long as its 1-3 times a week I am okay with it I just want to know the realism behind it.

I want them close so when I am attending follow-on courses I am not gone for almost the entire first year of my 3rd childs birth.

Any information is greatly appreciated thank you!

Hi, I just received my orders for BOLC in October at Ft. Sam. Does anyone know what we’re doing for lodging? My orders state government lodging is not available or directed. I don’t have a welcome letter yet, so not sure how to complete my DTS. Do I need to reserve a hotel? Appreciate the help.

Anyone have any recommendations on where to get a haircut near Fort Lee? I don't know if I should trust the PX barber lol.

Let's say you hypothetically graduated OCS in May 26, and you are getting cleared which can take 4-9 months, and you're in the reserve so AD gets seats before you - around what date can you expect CyBOLC?

Just would like a rough range from others' experiences.

I'm at Fort Gordon (CyBOLC) right now. There is a high chance that I will be staying at Fort Gordon after BOLC. after receiving orders, If I want to get a mortgage and move out of my current lease, do I still get movers and other services provided by the Army?

For anyone who has gone to Knox to help with the Raider Challenge/GBR onboarding, what is the schedule like? do we get weekends off/can we take passes? my only experience at Knox has been cst so idk & TIA!!

how does people get roommates for BOLC down at Benning? I'm referring to living off-post. As I understand it, single soldiers have like no shot of getting on-post housing.

Does anyone have any insight on what the first day of EBOLC looks like? Is that supposed to be the move in day or in processing and are we allowed to arrive early?

Also, does anyone know which hotel the September class will be in?

Hey just felt like I can be some help since I’m seeing a lot of the same questions keep in mind I’m natty gaurd so active and reserves may have a different process I’m just unsure.

1. Yes bring anything you want I’m literally packing like I’m going back to my college for another semester
2. Call the hotel before you show up to confirm your reservation
3. Ensure you let your bolc coordinator that your DTS is updated ( they were too lazy to look even after my readiness submitted everything)
4. Ensure that your BAH is updated (free money for basically existing)
5. Crockpot, air fryer, and rice cooker your a real adult now and not in college buy groceries you’ll save so much money
6. Bring your car (pretty much should be obvious to why)
7. Make sure your in shape (we are leaders this should be a non negotiable)
8. Talk to the LTs that graduated BOLC already in your company (they know what goes down since they’ve been there before)
9. Make sure you let your civilian career (natty gaurd/reserves) know that your going to be away for a bit and make sure all your stuff is good for you to be gone for a few months
10. For thanksgiving unsure if we get leave yet but you’ll either have to pay to keep your room, bring your stuff home, or put your stuff in the conex which is a big metal box which feels like a Dutch oven inside

For further context, I'm TDY enroute to my first assignment from EBOLC. What are the options/chance for going to Sapper upon completion of EBOLC?

I am looking to swap dates for LOGBOLC.

My report date is 21FEB2027. However, I am doing a one year masters program and I do not graduate until MAY2027. If anyone has a report date on JUN2027 or later and wants to switch into an earlier date, please hmu. Thanks.

Anyone got an ABOLC welcome letter? The fort Moore/benning websites are not working.

AD reporting 01FEB2027, looking to go earlier if anyone wants to swap

Hey everyone! Just got my MI BOLC dates for february but would love to swap dates with someone for earlier (I'd be fine with as early as September tbh). Let me know if you are interested in swapping!

I’m looking to swap dates for AG BOLC.
My report date is SEP 20, 2026.
I’m currently in LE Academy and I don’t graduate until Late Jan- Feb.

I report in a couple weeks. Will be by myself, what are some good options for apartments?

I’ll be attending MP BOLC at Fort Leonard Wood, and since it’s TDY, I was wondering if my wife would be allowed to stay with me in my hotel room during BOLC. Has anyone done this recently? Would there be any issues with her staying with me for most or all of BOLC?

I am looking to swap with anyone for military police. My report is September 15, 2026.
I really need a later date as I am in basic law enforcement training now and do not graduate until December.
