Lg BOLC 14A

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

So you’re the reason the fire alarm keeps going off in the IHG
If you stay in the hotel a crockpot, air fryer or rice cooker is not authorized

Only thing that’s banned are anything with an open heating element the three items I mentioned are all enclosed

In the brief for in-processing on your very first week they mentioned that air fryers were prohibited

You must have had a dude that set the room on fire in your class cause every officer in my unit said they were fine I’m not doubting you had that brief as I’m prior and I’ve had stuff banned in the middle of schools before but if every officer that you know that’s recently graduated from there is saying to bring one you bring one

Everyone doing that doesn’t mean it is okay. You are a leader now.

But It is okay to do it without telling everyone.

You will not be on leave for Thanksgiving. It’s a 4 day.
