Congratulations, 2LT (Join to see)! No tips unfortunately. I’ve been retired for over 20 years and I was never a tanker anyway. Good luck and I hope your time in the Army proves long and successful!

Hopefully you have free Wi-Fi in your room. Make sure your phone can be a hotspot if you have to use your own personal laptop to complete any written assignments. Continue working on the Army combat fitness test. Stay up on current events especially International ones especially keeping up with what's going on in the Ukraine concerning Russia stealing the Crimea and the civil war backed by Russia, NATO vs. Russia, China threatening the US and others in free navigation of the sea in the South China Sea. Those are just a couple of examples . Be familiar with military history. Since armor was used since World War 1, watch The History Channel or Discovery Channel and know about major battles. If you have a chance on History Channel or if you can get from the library, get the greatest tank battles series. Some are on YouTube. The schoolhouse should send you a packing list but I'm sure others here have finished the armor BOLC and they can give you some more hints.

Congratulations, but don't think this long retired AF guy can answer your question.
