Can I still go BLC at Fort McCoy with a Temp Profile?

I have BLC scheduled at Ft McCoy for early September this year. I'm super excited and preparing for it (PT) for months. My unit took my PT test every month before BLC just want to make sure I can pass it then. I have 3 PT scores on PT card and the average is above 250.

Unfortunately, I rolled my ankle and fell badly on my knee while practice running. My ankle is still swelling and I only have 1 week before I leave for BLC. I visited the doctor and get a temp profile for 1 month for no running, no jumping. I informed my squad leader and training sergeant for my injury, waiting for their response still.

I feel so bad about myself and worried about my slot. Can I still go BLC with a temp profile? What should I do now...?

Does your profile allow you to do the walk or any of the other alternate events? If so I think you should still be able to go and take the alternate events for the APFT. If not, get off profile and deal with the ankle pain for the 2 miles you have to run, and finish the school.

Honestly, it depends on what your PULHES is and what your Army issues profile says. If you cannot complete the requirements for BLC you can’t go. Don’t beat yourself up over it. You’ll get another opportunity to go. If you need to take the time to heal, do so. No school is worth permanently injuring yourself. You’re only given one body. Take care of it.

According to AR 350-1 you are not authorized to attend any military schooling with a temporary profile. I highly recommend you request to get your class date changed ASAP to prevent you from being a No-Show. Good Luck to you....

I retired 5 months ago, but my last duty assignment was in Ops. The short answer is NO. For more info contact The academy and your enrollment / welcome letter. You should have received one when your ATRRS went from wait to reserved, along with your pre- course requirements.
