What regulation or policy can help protect me from being pulled from school to attend a range?

I started BLC today and my NCOIC is saying that my command team wants my SGL number so they can arrange something to pull me from class so I can go qualify at the 249 range. I think this is absolutely wrong. I shouldn’t be put on any ranges while I’m in school. This will take away from learning for me. Our class is fast pace so every bit of information is critical.
This isn’t the first time my unit does dumb shit like this.
Just two weeks ago the LTS were making people cancel and reschedule their appointments to meet their numbers for the m4 qualifications. I was one of those stupid people who canceled their appointment.
Is there’s anything to protect me from being pulled from school to attend a range?
The crazy thing is that I had the chance to qualify before I started BLC but because the LT wanted to schedule ammo pickup the same morning go the range; we didn’t get to attend the range (another units) until they were just about done. We didn’t get to zero, we didn’t qualify. We spent an hour there. All due to their poor planning.
What can I do to not be pulled from class?? I think this is crazy.

This is absolutely not okay. You are temporarily assigned to the NCOA to attend BLC, not attend ranges for your unit. You should immediately notify your SGL about this. If your SGL is unavailable, ask to speak with the senior SGL or Commandant of the NCOA.

Exactly. I would have never allowed this nor would I allow a unit to contact one of my instructors directly.

You are on orders and asigned to the school. Your chain of command is the academy, not your unit.

I once had a 1SG who 'scored' AFPTs for my Scout Sect/Plt when we were deployed overseas.
He could have just submitted a Memorandum for Record, but it was all about the numbers.
After a couple of months he was assigned by battalion to give a class on Ethics - Go figure.
