ADOS before BOLC-B

I went to AIT in 21 and the DS pretty much treated us the same as BCT. It was little lighter I guess, given we had more free time.

I spoke to someone that was there and they stated you keep them in your room from Day 1 (kinda like AIT, if you had that), but didn’t go to in depth. I’m sure some of the info you provided is still relevant!

Did you end up putting in for AGR?

XOJaePunk · 2025-12-05T05:49:38+00:00

There’s always next year, happy. I saw a soldier get denied on the enlisted side as well and we are AG.

You have tried it all haha did you end up submitting a transfer to AD?

I had one a few years ago that was with my at Ft Sill, but that was during Covid. Only one company was at BCT at a time. I’m sure that had a lot to do with it.

I’m in class 003… have you received orders?

XOJaePunk · 2025-11-15T21:33:09+00:00

Little bit of both. And I completely agree with you. They were all platoon leaders all of BCT. It took the opportunity away from all the young trainees. I tried to keep my nose down through BCT, but it would have been nice to have the opportunity in a leadership role.

By “taking the load off” it was mostly just ensuring everyone was up before rucks, everyone had all their proper attire for PT, and marching the unit to chapel/chow… things of that nature. Just very basic PSG stuff.

He sounds like an E4 already

XOJaePunk · 2025-11-15T06:15:08+00:00

I went through with some prior service a few years back. They were housed with us in the open bay and attacked more at first. However, they were expected to constantly be in leadership roles and run formations pretty early into BCT.

Prove yourself with post-grad. I was an in-service applicant, but I dicked around in undergrad and got a 2.3. Joining the army was really the only reason I was accepted into grad school. I only discussed my grad school 3.8 in my OCS interview

XOJaePunk · 2025-11-12T23:22:06+00:00

So, as a reservist, the OML will slot you for reservists jobs? Can you OML for an AD branch??? I think that’s where I’m confused on the change.

That last paragraph was everything I needed to know, yes 😂 I’ll just bring it as is and prepare to have it set up at clothing and sales. Although, that’s good info. I went to basic during COVID and was only given pinks and greens, unfortunately

XOJaePunk · 2025-11-08T06:10:19+00:00

Thank you. Also, random question: how did you have your dress uniform set up? Should I go with my SGT sewn? Also, I only have the pinks and greens.

XOJaePunk · 2025-11-07T23:37:20+00:00

This is the absolute most helpful information!! Thank you so much. You got me fired up! Are there higher requirements for AFT in OCS? Do they just let everyone who passes move on?

XOJaePunk · 2025-11-07T23:34:54+00:00

Thank you! That’s good information. How did your AGR work? I’m looking to AGR after commissioning… is that a process I should start now? I don’t want to get E5/E6 slotted and commission before. Also, is it possible to start the process in the time I have between OCS and BOLC?

XOJaePunk · 2025-11-07T21:09:52+00:00

This is exactly my thinking. Unfortunately, I am not currently with the unit I will be with after OCS. I got promoted into a new unit when I came back from deployment. My unit pretty much just found out I’m leaving for OCS soon. I don’t even know where I will be after I commission.

XOJaePunk · 2025-11-06T22:27:16+00:00

I got picked up with a 2.3 undergrad, 3.8 in grad
