Per SMA, BLC and MLC are going to continue via distance learning. Is that for the current BLC and MLC classes, or any upcoming classes ?

Can I attend BLC via distance learning ? In my unit I have to drive 5 hours to Huachuca, then get bused 13 hours to some reserve base in NM for BLC. Avoiding this would be pretty awesome.

It’s all TBD right now.
The Army in general is TBD

I can’t speak for BLC, I’m an MLC facilitator and that’s the plan from NCOL-COE. Run DL in the same footprint as the resident course. Since both courses are owned by the same entity I would bet it’s the same for both. Now, the rub comes with NGB for guard guys. I don’t believe they will pay a Soldier for DL. They did at one time, but IIRC NGB said recently that they wouldn’t. I’ve been off all week on cycle break, so there’s no telling what has happened.
