I have no idea about the BOLC, but you could not have picked a better group of folks to join! Good luck and remember your ear plugs!

As of now there is no BOLC for EOD, although technically EOD is it's own branch now. You'll go to Ordnance BOLC and then Phase 1 and then Phase 2 of EOD school.

This is late I am sure. There is no EOD BOLC. You will attend Ordnance BOLC which is co-located to EOD Phase 1 school on Fort Lee. So after your 6 months of "fun" at BOLC you will attend a 9 week preparatory course for the 46 week course down in Florida. Phase 1 isn't hard normally for lieutenants. You already have good study habits and generally have more than half of a brain. Your issues may be more related to the application of the material (practical exams) and restraining yourself from getting a DUI. Otherwise you should be fine, just show the instructors some respect and that, in itself, can go a long way. Hope that helps
