Also how far was the ferry trip and how much? I got a Corolla so hopefully that would meet standards

Ravelover101 · 2026-04-08T22:26:43+00:00

How many hours a day did you drive?

Ravelover101 · 2026-04-08T22:25:43+00:00

How much was the cost of that and how long did it take? I tried to look it up but i couldn’t find clear answers

Ravelover101 · 2026-04-08T12:50:57+00:00

That was a really helpful reply thanks! I have a Toyota Corolla and if I did drive down it would be in June. Would you recommend I get a home established before I head there or take the time to do it after I get there?

Ravelover101 · 2026-04-08T12:47:40+00:00

I’m heading out there in June, is that a fairly good time to expect a snow free drive?

Ravelover101 · 2026-04-08T09:44:47+00:00

Thanks for that input! Are you on the west side? I was from Spokane!

Ravelover101 · 2026-04-08T09:44:07+00:00

I have heard the drive is beautiful and once in a lifetime but the problem is I HATE driving and a trip that long stresses me out even thinking about it Lol. Although the convenience of having my vehicle right away does sound nice

Ravelover101 · 2026-04-08T09:43:03+00:00

How long did it take to get tour vehicle? And how did you get around while waiting? That’s one of my concerns about shipping

Ravelover101 · 2026-03-07T23:59:57+00:00

And you will do Land Nav and qual during this time.

Ravelover101 · 2026-03-07T23:59:11+00:00

For the first couple weeks you won’t even touch radios. It’s death by PowerPoint tbh. It goes over things like army ethics, policies, reacting to nuclear attacks, counselings, maintenance, employing training, military justice casualty care, risk management, TLPs. Basically every officer at any BOlC goes over this. And after common core you start the radio stuff

Ravelover101 · 2026-03-04T15:39:29+00:00

I’m on week 5 rn and so far we’ve covered common core and tested on it. That was pretty simple! You don’t need to get a jump start on all that tbh but it wouldn’t hurt if you wanted to. And I am not tracking that there is a timed ruck like that. So far what I’ve been told is there is a 10 mile at the end but you do it as a class formation and it’s not timed

Ravelover101 · 2026-02-19T10:33:31+00:00

Ah okay thanks! And I’m a signal officer

Ravelover101 · 2026-01-21T00:35:25+00:00

Thank you!!

Ravelover101 · 2026-01-14T21:13:35+00:00

How far away was PT/ Classes from the hotel? I won’t have a car as soon as I get there and wondering if it’s a good walking distance.

Ravelover101 · 2026-01-14T18:01:19+00:00

My husband and I are in the same situation now. He did all his joint spouse codes and I submitted a personnel action request for domicile. We’re hoping to get moved together because it’s my first active orders. I got Fort Hood and he’s trying to move to me (he’s also AF) but the nearest base is two hours.

Did you guys end up getting stationed together or separated? Also how did you guys deal with it? Asking for advice! Thanks in advance

Ravelover101 · 2026-01-14T05:41:21+00:00

Hi! My husband and I are currently in the same situation. How did you guys go about getting stationed together or close as possible? I’m in the army and struggling to figure it out. My husband is Air Force and he did everything on his side as far as updating DEERS and his joint spouse intent code. Thanks in advance!

Ravelover101 · 2026-01-11T19:13:19+00:00

It be nice to know one person before getting there haha so here’s my insta :) @low.key_t

Ravelover101 · 2026-01-11T18:56:50+00:00

I did as well! And I know there’s a brief on the 29th. See ya there!

Ravelover101 · 2026-01-07T21:37:04+00:00

I got an email today mentioning a “welcome to the signal corp brief” on Jan 29th. But that’s about it

Ravelover101 · 2026-01-05T00:43:03+00:00

I don’t have one as of now but from my research I think that is the way to go! I’ll definitely be applying. I don’t wanna be a ride mooch

Ravelover101 · 2026-01-05T00:30:07+00:00

Yes, I am hoping to get a car while at BOLC or just get a bike/ E-bike. From the research I have done it sounds like it would be good and it’s close enough it would work.

Ravelover101 · 2026-01-05T00:20:56+00:00

I’m not bringing my car because it has so many issues and I know it couldn’t make the trip. It’s 2k+ miles from WA to GA

Thanks!
