Can you be forced to attend BLC with 2 months until ETS?

I don't have the regulation answer, however I echo the previous comment about taking advantage of an opportunity that may not seem important now but can be a great benefit later. Having BLC complete will save a huge amount of time if you decide later to join the Guard or Reserve. If it absolutely doesn't cause you inconvenience or hardship now, I say do it.

You will never regret having a leadership certification when transitioning.

Write up a request, with a list of reasons why it is advantageous to USGov and Army that you do not attend and waste a slot for a career soldier. Please do not waste my tax money! If that fails, take that same request to the Inspector General's office and ask not to waste money sending you. IF you change your mind, you are hosed on being able to go, and that will hurt a future career. (But, like a famous Cpl said in my unit, "You signed the dotted line!!!"

We had a guy in my WLC in your same situation. What is more messed up about his was they could not get him a working computer account, he was told he could not graduate but they kept him at the school doing details and sitting in class as a non graduating student. He still did all the assignments on a guest account but because having a computer account was a check the box graduation requirement they would not let him.

Why wouldn't you want to go? BLC is a low level management course you can put on your resume. People pay money for courses like that in the civilian side. It will help you in the long run.

Go ahead and do it. Save the agro of upsetting some lifer who might make your life hell. Swallow your pride, go through the course and take your discharge in 65 days. To me it is a waste of a slot that could be used by someone who is going to stay in. Why waste it on someone who is leaving the military? Just my opinion.

Should not be mandatory if ETSing ( leaving the military ) .

May as well do it, I don’t know how much it’s changed since I went, but it’ll teach you a few things that will transfer out to the civilian world. Plus, it will give you extra credits towards college on your Joint Service Transcript.

It’s in your best interest to go. I speak from experience. I wish I had gone before I got out. Not only that, it will keep you out of trouble. ETS coming up and you start to go civilian before you should. Most important, what you learn will help you more than realize when you do get out

I understood your frustration, but the simple answer is "Yes, it's allowed". However, as the SGT said below, it's a shame that you would be taking a slot away from a Soldier who will be staying in. What I would suggest is getting your first line / Platoon Sergeant to go with you to speak to the 1SG and suggesting a specific Soldier to take your place. Give your reasons as to why you think attending BLC, only to ETS would not benefit his unit, and present a solution to resolve the situation. At the end of the day, you're still a Soldier until you leave the gate with your DD-214, and are expected to do what you're told. A little bit of "free chicken" for you as you continue with your life, albeit as a Civilian or not, NEVER present a problem without a solution, and always do the leg work ahead of time to make your solution as simple and easy as possible. Good Luck!
