I was suppose to be an end of camp commission, but due to covid I was not commissioned till September 2020. I wanted to branch Medical, per my civilian side and applying to Physician Assistant graduate school programs. Is there a way to transfer branches as I have not been to EBOLC yet? The OSM has not been much help in getting back in contact or answering questions.Is it possible to rebranch before attending bold?2020-10-09T11:58:56-04:002LT Private RallyPoint Member6386393<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I currently commissioned as an Engineer Officer.

Unless it's changed, you were commissioned to fill a particular slot with a unit they're not going to want to send you to a different BOLC. You'd probably have to find a unit with a vacant medical slot willing to take you AND get your current unit to release you.Response by LTC Private RallyPoint Member made Oct 9 at 2020 12:24 PM2020-10-09T12:24:20-04:002020-10-09T12:24:20-04:00CPT Lawrence Cable6387075<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I would talk to these people. It looks like you could attend EBOLC and then apply to have the Army send you to their PA school. <a target="_blank" href="https://recruiting.army.mil/armypa/becomePA/">https://recruiting.army.mil/armypa/becomePA/</a> <div class="pta-link-card answers-template-image type-default">
