How else can I get ahold of the MIBOLC Packing List and Welcome Letter?

2LT Private RallyPoint Member — Thu, 22 Jul 2021 19:23:41 -0400

I report to MIBOLC on 2 Aug 21, but have not received a packing list or any information about reporting. I am aware that we are supposed to receive a "Welcome Letter" within 2 months of our report date, however, I am two weeks out and have received nothing.

Like many other newly commissioned 2LTs, my CAC expired and I won't receive a new one until BOLC. Therefore, I called the POC listed in my orders (C. Co. Clerk) twice and requested that any information be sent to a personal email.

That being said, how else can I get ahold of the MIBOLC Packing List and Welcome Letter? Thank you.

It's been a few years, but I don't remember getting a packing list for my Officer Basic Course. Pack your uniforms and expect that anything else will be issued through CIF. Call the school house and ask. if you don't get a response, call and ask to speak to that persons supervisor.
Your an officer now, don't expect a lot of hand holding. You are getting paid to solve problems and make decisions.

Do you know someone with an active CAC and a government computer? If so, ask them to look up your course in ATRRS and see if there is a packing list there. And if there is...boom, there ya go.

Between 1996 and today with no break in service and over 18 years of that time active, I think only once did I receive a welcome letter before I signed in to a command.

Bring all of your stuff to Hauchuca on your report date and you'll be fine. You may want to look at their website to see if they have a packing list.

Best of luck.
