What are the requirements to attend BLC?

Completion of SSD1, Recommended for Promotion, and a BLC seat request submitted and approved. That's it.

Expect death by power point. Attention to detail to the tenth degree. Fun activities and PT. And hopefully a fun FTX (no sarcasm-mine was awesome). Oh and a whole lot of NCO creed.

Bragg has an installation OML they generate using HRC records. However, they don't always fill all the slots so then the Schools NCOs at BDE and BN levels can submit packets for walk-ons to try to get into the class. It's a complete packet that requires an APFT within the last 30-60 days (I was always told 30 days but we got word from our BDE it's 60 days so who knows) plus a full packet. The walk-ons will be put into an OML and then attend day 0. There's no guarantee you can get in but I have seen a couple cycles where every walk-on from the OML got in plus a handful of those who showed to day 0 with completed packets. It's a crap shoot, however, your training NCO can submit a packet to BN who can push it up to BDE to push to XVIII Airborne Corps so you can at least get put into the OML for walk-ons/standby.

On another note, I am being told here at Bagram nobody is allowed to go to BLC anymore unless they are promotable. Is this true? I have not heard as such yet and am trying to get my Soldier here into the next cycle.
