PFC Private RallyPoint Member8517167<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Greetings all! I've just been selected to be an Army Chaplain. I already have dates to go to CHBOLC. Unfortunately, I failed my ACFT (just the run) due to taking it after being in the ER with my wife for three days. I will be taking another ACFT this week. Just for confirmation: since I am flagged I cannot attend CHBOLC until the flag is removed, correct? I have yet to be scrolled (i.e. Congress has not blessed off on the accepted applicants) and do not have orders cut. Although, I have been slotted for my course dates. Thanks!Since I am flagged for failing my ACFT, is it true that I cannot attend CHBOLC until the flag is removed?2023-10-16T20:40:25-04:00PFC Private RallyPoint Member8517167<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Greetings all!
