I graduated from WOCS March 20th of this year, however, my WOBC date is not until Feb 2020. Is this year until WOBC unrated time?

This time is unrated time. Rated time starts after completion of WOBC (when you are "trained"). This is supposed to be time you are acclimating to your unit and developing as an officer. See AR 623-3 and DA PAM 623-3.

Thanks for the answer and reference to the regulation. I learned something new today!

That’s what DA Form 1059 is for, is your school/training evaluation document.

The 1059 covers the WOCS time but she has to wait a long time before she graduates WOBC. That is quite a bit of “blackout” time. My WOBC was three weeks after WOCS so it wasn’t a big deal for me.

CW4 Eric Clayton it will perfectly work! Either splinted by phases or the entire course. E.g. the the Intermediate Leve Education of the Command and General Staff College, is a one year course for O4s. For it we get one single 1059.

MAJ Javier Rivera True but she’s already gone from WOCS and had to wait nearly a year for WOBC. I don’t think a 1059 will cover nearly a year gap between schools. Pretty sure there is a code on the evaluation which covers a gap this large. Either way she knows it’s unrated time.

Unrated time due to training is a lot more coming that some folks thing CW4 Eric Clayton. It a show stopper!
