Your best source is reaching out to the course mangers for SBOLC, either through the 442d Signal Battalion or the Signal School at Fort Gordon. I am very familiar with the SBOLC Course. Technically, there isn’t much that you can prepare for in just a couple months—IMO. Don’t over think it before you get there; you will study hard enough after you get there. Arrive fit to fight (no HT/WT issues and no ACFT issues), with the right mindset, and with the kit you’ve been issued or are supposed to have.

COL Dan Ruder, I'm encouraged to hear that SBOLC (SOBC for me) has changed, and changed for the better it seems. When I was there (JAN74-APR74), we considered the course, for all practical purposes, to be a three month vacation.
The highlight for me was attending practice and tournament rounds of the Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club. Back then, all you had to do was wear a Class B uniform, show your military ID and pay $5 each day. It was incredible! Gary Player won.

LTC Stephen C. - I lived in the Governor's Place Apartments nearby, when I was there for SOAC in 1986. I ran around the golf course a couple of times, but I don't play golf, so didn't to into the property. Found a $20 bill on the curb once. That was a good run.

I lived in the BOQ (Griffith Hall) on post, MAJ Ron Peery, which had an Officers' Club annex on the first floor. At the time, they still had go-go dancers performing there. Different times!

This is the best I can offer. I completed the Signal Officer Basic Course in APR74.
