For reservists: is it true that BOLC cannot be scheduled without first graduating DCC?

I have been scheduled for DCC for the January class but have been told BOLC cannot be scheduled until I have graduated from there, is this true? I know some AD officers who are scheduled for both at once so I am wondering if I should be too....

No it cannot. You must complete DCC and the phase 1 online portion of BOLC and also have a passing APFT and your medpros green within the last 6 months to apply for phase II.

The active duty folks usually do the long course for BOLC not the 4 week course we do in the reserves so they are doing phase I and phase II in person and they do it right after DCC.

Many of my classmates here who are active duty are going to BOLC after DCC ends.

You are given 2 days of trave hence why your orders read that way. You will report in on the 2nd and check in. They will issue some stuff. You will meet your enlisted and officer cadre. They will go over expectations for the course. I loved it. I really enjoyed most of the cadre. You could tell most of them wanted to teach you and towards the end most of them let their personalities come out and it was a lot of fun.

Just be flexible. The schedule most of the time can change from hour to hour. So if you’re a type A person you just need to let that go. It will make the experience much easier. CPT (Join to see)

I know this thread is a few months old. When from the time your unit administrator 'enrolled' you into DCC do you receive notification that you were accepted into that class? I asked to be enrolled in the 15NOV2020-14DEC2020 class. I want to be able to tell my current place of employment a yes or no on traveling.

I received notification from my unit admin with a few days of being entered into the course. I would email them or call them today so they can make sure they have you enrolled and you have a seat. CPT (Join to see)
