<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>If your commander says you can attend AT/ECT then sure. You won’t be able to shoot if they do weapons qualifications though since you haven’t had the training. You’d probably be on some sort of range duty.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You sure can and will likely need the AT orders to have accumulated enough points for a qualifying year. Welcome to the AMEDD Officer Corps!

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>When I was a reservist, my unit counted BOLC as the AT for that year. After BOLC, I loved the active duty lifestyle I transferred over to RA. But to answer your question, I would say it depends on your Commander.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You can as long as none of those courses overlap. I was FA and my OBC was at the end of August and out AT was in June so I did both. I spent the part of the first week with one of the battery XO’s, then I spent time with the survey team then spent the last week on the hill with the observers and in a Battery FDC. All of that gave me hands on experience with everything I was going to learn at OBC

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I am actually dealing with this situation right now. I was just told by APMC (who manages the STRAP program for students) that I can NOT do ECT, or even AT until I&#39;ve attended DCC. My regular unit that I&#39;m also attached to, wasn&#39;t really aware of this because they&#39;re kind of limited on all their knowledge about this STRAP program. And I think some people who responded to your question also aren&#39;t aware of how the STRAP program works.
