I have prior commitments (family and educational) and a slow healing injury that would make it a bit difficult to attend an in-person course. This would be a good opportunity for me to attend the course and meet my other obligations.

Yes. BLC and MLC are both being offered via DL. Get with your first line leader or training/schools NCO.

I may be wrong, but I believe that you still need to be medically green to attend, even DL versions of PME.

You mentioned an injury : are you on a temp profile? Double check with your training NCO. They may not be able to register you if that is the case

I remember seeing an email that BLC & SLC are both online currently due to COVID.

BLC is a short course, it shouldn’t take much time from your home life. But if you are concerned being gone for a couple weeks will damage your relationship, that’s a lot more discussion. There will be a lot of things the army has you do that will take you away from home for a lot longer than 2-4 weeks. As far as college goes, crush it.

I understand the army taking stuff away Chief, I have missed college before for the army and to help a fellow soldier out. I wouldn't mind the college missing so much if it wasn't labs, it's super hard to make up labs at this school. I'm just trying to help my TL out to see if anyone knows if the army is doing this and if not then give another soldier the chance to get promoted the school and I take their spot next year

I can appreciate that. Last I heard, all BLC classes were going to be virtual for the foreseeable future due to COVID.
