I’m at OCS now, and there are still soldiers training at Airborne school. But we were told by the Colonel, only the mission essential soldiers.

Yes. A friend of mine just got his wings last week however he was already there from RASP. He stated it was only for soldiers already there.

As far as I’m tracking yes but only for those that are local to attend.

Most Army courses are still being conducted if there are enough local personnel to meet the minimum requirements

Thank you all for your input. I'm on the list to go when things open back up. If anyone hears that they're open again, I would greatly appreciate notification. Stay stafe.
