Is 10mo or 15wk ILE (CGSOC) worth it for a Reservist? Picked up by the board but am 1/3 through DL. Can boards tell if you attend 15wk vs DL?

If I could swing it, I would do the 10 mO because it gets you fully credentialed with AOC or whatever it is called now. It is also a great opportunity to pick up a master's while there. The 15 wk means you still have to get PH 4 DL to complete AOC. By getting everything done, you can focus on true descriminators like AJPME, DSC or other additional training opportunities it's all about timing, finances and what your ultimate goals are.

I am in agreement I did the distant learning course for CGSOC and if I had the opportunity I would have done the resident course - total completion and an additional Master's degree. Remember you can never have too much education.

I would highly recommend the resident course, if at all possible - especially as it usually isn't for a reservists. To answer your question about whether the board will know or not, you will have a 1059 that will list the length of the course. If you attend the 10 month course, there will also be a 10 month gap in your OERs (at least if they are done to standard....).

Yes, the board will know. Given that they board for the school, with the "top" being offered the 10 month version, I would take it if offered.

Having done the DL version (for both ILE and AOWC/AOC) and taught the RC 2-10-2 version, I highly recommend that you do the DL only if you cannot do another modality.
