ALC is a major milestone and you should focus strictly on it, especially if you had a technical MOS such as 91 series.Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Apr 13 at 2019 8:24 AM2019-04-13T08:24:48-04:002019-04-13T08:24:48-04:00SSG Private RallyPoint Member4540334<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Good advice. ThanksResponse by SSG Private RallyPoint Member made Apr 13 at 2019 8:37 AM2019-04-13T08:37:10-04:002019-04-13T08:37:10-04:00SFC Melvin Brandenburg4540832<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My advice, focus on the main thing. Focus on doing well in ALC. If you return to your unit with "Exceeded Course Standards" marked on your 1059, it will forever speak for you. If you return with a marginal or a met course standards, that won't do much for your career when you have to compete at the E8 and E9 level. I took time away from my college studies, and your professor/institution will understand.Response by SFC Melvin Brandenburg made Apr 13 at 2019 11:02 AM2019-04-13T11:02:12-04:002019-04-13T11:02:12-04:00SFC Private RallyPoint Member4540981<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Being 11B you’ll probably have a decent amount of field or range training also, so probably not a good idea.Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Apr 13 at 2019 12:03 PM2019-04-13T12:03:04-04:002019-04-13T12:03:04-04:00SFC Private RallyPoint Member4540985<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I always advise not to take courses during a military school. Especially an MOS school or NOCES. The reason is that if (when) your perforance suffers and it affects your military school, the effect can be career changing or ending for you.<br />Put your all into you NCOES and get the commandant list or honor grad.Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Apr 13 at 2019 12:04 PM2019-04-13T12:04:07-04:002019-04-13T12:04:07-04:00MAJ Raúl Rovira4542434<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>SGT Brooks Porter, when I attended ILE, a milestone for O4s, I was in the middle of graduate school.<br />After I was done with military school, I would work on graduate school. I made it and so can you. I made some sacrifices for this.<br />ILE was 5 weeks. ALC is a lot longer. This is where you have to figure it out if time allows you to be successful at both.Response by MAJ Raúl Rovira made Apr 13 at 2019 10:01 PM2019-04-13T22:01:01-04:002019-04-13T22:01:01-04:002019-04-13T08:06:53-04:00
