I’m told I have BLC in a month. However my ETS date is about 10 months out. I recently just went to the reenlistment office and informed them I don’t intend on resigning. He said he will forward that information to medcom. Will this remove me from the list? Is there certain requirement that will allow me to decline BLC? Who do I talk to, my 1SGT? Will I get barred if I don’t attend? It’s just a waste of a spot when I know 100% I’m getting out. Any info helps.

I can’t count how many Soldiers that I served with said they were not reenlisting and did not wish to attend a program only to sign a dec statement and later regret it. Also, that course will teach you valuable skills that transfer to the private and public sectors

I graduated from BLC back in November, I do agree with you 100%. I always try to recommend soldiers who are dead set on getting out to try to attend BLC just so they can get some solid schooling on leadership that they can use outside of the Army.

Fortune 500 companies spend boatloads of money every year bringing in outside people to teach their people about leadership and management. Go to BLC and put it on your resume! Sell it as a management class that teaches you to lead teams of 3-5 people and corporate America will eat it up. How will you differ from your peers applying for that new job?

If you're 10 months out from ETS - they're going to send you. I've seen people get sent to BLC with 2-3 months left to ETS.
I have also seen soldiers change their mind about ETSing even close to their ETS. Or seen people ETS and come back in not long after ETS.
You're not going to be able to defer it without a really good reason nor decline it. Just go. It's not going to hurt you in any way. Also no it won't take you out of your slot for BLC at all if you already have a date.
