Do you still get dropped from BLC for failing HT/WT?

I got my welcome letter and it said that students if they fail HT/WT they get disqualified from the Commandant's List, but nothing on getting dropped from the school. I know in priors years it would disqualify a soldier and fail them outright. Has BLC changed on that account?

Yea. You fail HT/WT and you're going home. Then your BDE CSM is gonna get a call...then your BN CSM....then finally your 1SG is gonna get a call.

I am sure the conversation between BDE CSM and BN CSM are pretty cordial however I would not want to be the one getting the call from the 1SG.

You will get sent home from every level of PME, and any other school that has a HT-WT screen, for failing HT-WT.
There was a brief period of a few years where failing a HT-WT just got you a marginal passing 1059 in BLC, but that ended years ago. Your BLC hasn't updated their welcome letter.
