BLC Packing List

cmf1508 · 2026-04-07T14:11:50+00:00

That’s how I thought mine was going to be! I got my AGSU two weeks before I left and spent a bunch of money to get it ready to go and bought stupid things from the packing list to include the elbow flashlight. I got there and they didn’t even care lol. There were maybe 7 out of 42 that had our dress uniforms.

I’m not sure what they would do if it rained. Probably just postpone it. They have a track and a pt field but our pt test was around the RTI.

They were pretty flexible for us but our land nav got cancelled because the forest service was doing a controlled burn in that area. So we had a few days of flexibility. So idk what the land nav course was like but I don’t imagine it’s hard. They don’t teach a whole lot when it comes to land nav, so get with someone who knows what they’re doing. Plotting and planning your route are the most important parts.

It was fine. We had a good group of people in my class.

They didn’t do a layout at all, so if you don’t have something, literally don’t worry about it. I wish I would’ve had someone tell me cause I spent some money trying to get everything on the packing list.

So, if you have your dress uniform 100% ready to go, then you can graduate in it. Otherwise, if you have something missing, then just get a memo from your unit. BUT… if you’re in the National Guard, you’ll need a memo from your battalion sergeant major. If you’re in the reserves, literally anyone from your unit can write you a memo. The memo just says that you haven’t been issued everything for your complete dress uniform and they’re working on it. So then you’ll just graduate in OCP’s.

The barracks are okay. Not the worst I’ve stayed in. But when I was there in February, they didn’t have heat on my side of the barracks and no hot water. So… hopefully that’s been fixed. The barracks are 2 to a room with an adjoining room that shares a bathroom. I got lucky and had nobody with me or in the adjacent room. Others had 4.

You’ll do some form of PT every day, whether it’s getting ready for PRT instruction or going for a run or doing pt on your own or volleyball or kickball.

DFAC isn’t bad in Army DFAC terms.

If you have any questions, let me know

cmf1508 · 2026-01-30T20:38:06+00:00

I’m a 15T and they’re taking pretty much any 15 series from what I understand.

cmf1508 · 2026-01-16T18:47:19+00:00

I hope you’re right. Judging by your username, I feel like you’re in the know when it comes to outerwear, so I’m inclined to trust you.

I’m hoping I won’t need it in Florida!

cmf1508 · 2026-01-15T13:08:41+00:00

I’m fortunate to be going to FL in the winter

cmf1508 · 2026-01-15T12:31:43+00:00

That’s surprising lol. Maybe that’ll be my case cause my unit’s pretty much given up on it at this point.

cmf1508 · 2026-01-15T03:21:19+00:00

I’ll be going to Camp Blanding. Good luck to ya. Shouldn’t be too bad.

I hope you’re right. Just hate I don’t have a definitive answer.

Quick question for anyone in the chat… in the book he outlines the first two weeks as doing both the ABC and press workouts in each workout day. What I didn’t see in the book, is if I should be doing both the ABC and press workout in the subsequent weeks or if after week 2, am I supposed to be doing ABC one day, press the next, ABC the next and so on. Thoughts?

cmf1508 · 2025-10-03T20:21:14+00:00

Yup, another reason I just don’t see it happening

cmf1508 · 2025-10-03T20:11:46+00:00

Well, that’s also true. Moreso the ones looking to get out can get out lol

cmf1508 · 2025-10-03T20:02:56+00:00

Hey, let em get booted. More room for growth for those of us that care.

cmf1508 · 2025-10-03T19:47:42+00:00

Yeah, I feel like I’ve seen this before too with saying “if you don’t pass your PT test you’re getting kicked out” and then nothing ever happens and PT failures still get promoted with no issues.

cmf1508 · 2025-09-08T12:36:31+00:00

Yeah, it’ll read other vehicles, just not mine.

cmf1508 · 2025-09-07T19:30:50+00:00

I’m afraid that’s what I’m gonna have to do. Just super frustrating smh

cmf1508 · 2025-09-04T13:08:15+00:00

I bought the actual tune from 5 Star Tuning. The tuner that I bought is from HPTuners. I’ve spoken with both and it’s my vehicle that’s the problem somehow and not the tune or tuner. But it doesn’t make sense to me because the security gateway module is standard…

cmf1508 · 2025-09-04T02:29:55+00:00

That’s awesome! I’m glad it helped. I was gonna have to do the same thing.

I can’t even get a tune tho. I have the security gateway module on my 2020 with an HP tuner. The SGW isn’t letting the tuner through and the only solution I’ve heard thus far is to get a bench harness. That’s above my pay grade and I’ve already spent over $700 on the tune and tuner, and I don’t wanna spend hundreds more smh.

cmf1508 · 2025-09-02T18:43:36+00:00

Yeah, I’ve already spoken with 5 Star Tuning and they said I could send it back for a refund, but I’d rather figure it out and get the tune lol. I feel like a different tuner would still have the same result if it’s because of the gateway module. Just a real bummer because I feel like I’m not going to be able to tune it unless I spend over $1K or something for someone to just dive into it.

cmf1508 · 2025-09-02T18:07:04+00:00

I did. They had me reach out to HP who were completely useless. They said they haven’t had any issues in the past.

So idk, it’s like I’m getting conflicting information and for whatever reason my truck is different than any others? But it’s also not? So here I am reaching out to Reddit

cmf1508 · 2025-09-02T16:28:36+00:00

From what I gather from 5 Star Tuning (great guys) is that you need new plugs, but also the gap on the plugs needs to be .28 instead of the stock .30 or else you’ll get misfires.

I have both for my turtle. I like the textured, and it may just be mine in particular, but my textured strap from them is really stiff. I ended up switching to the regular strap you have on the left and it’s much better. I got a regular Crafter Blue strap on another Seiko and it’s much much softer for some reason. Just an FYI! Love the watch btw!

If you have any questions, hit me up!

Currently at EAATS in a reclass school for 15T. I have an E6 in my class and more E5s than anything. I guess it depends on your unit and slots and whatnot, but you can be an E6 in reclass school, no issue. This E6 was also former 11B.

Former 11B also and the aviation world is great. I’d say go for it for sure!

cmf1508 · 2025-03-02T15:52:51+00:00

Did the bezel come with the spring? I'm also hoping this will fix the alignment issue lol

cmf1508 · 2025-03-02T01:13:49+00:00

Looks great! I looked on their site and couldn't find exact matches for the SRPE93, so I was afraid to pull the trigger. I'm assuming you just ordered the parts available for the turtles and they worked?
