I will be heading to FA BOLC this summer. Does anybody have any advice or humorous anecdotes they are willing to share?

Don't be stupid, seriously! It's statically the second hardest BOLC behind AVN. I think there are approx. 25 graded tasks/ assignments not counting HW. It's still an Army school though and there is no reason for anyone with a bachelors degree to fail, but some will. Find solid LTs to do your HW with and take advantage of all extra study time offered by instructors.

Firstly, be prepared for gunnery. A whole lot of interpolations involved. Take safety seriously or you will end up in a world of hurt since this the game you must pass to become a field artillery officer. Also, ensure you are physically fit since there is a lot of physical requirements involved, especially rucks. Do keen observation in class and find a good study group of students who are doing well since there is a lot of homework, lots of late nights so be ready. Take very well organized notes and pay attention to detail and you will be set. Im sure there may be other stuff like making sure you have everything on the packing list for class from day one but I sure you will figure it out. Hope this helps and good luck.

Cadet Simpson - it has been a very long time since I attended OBC at Fort Sill, but I would concur with CPT Hunt, take it seriously and put the time in on the course work. This is the knowledge that will make you a success at your first assignment. Your leadership at your first Battery/Battalion won't expect you to be a perfect leader but they will expect you to have the technical expertise.
