  • Join me on my journey as I report into IBOLC and experience the first week of this wonderful training program. As a business owner in the National Guard, I'm required to finish the Infantry Basic Officer Leadership Course to begin my career as a Platoon Leader. I hope to take on a new challenge and push myself to the limit. This video takes you behind the scenes and gives you a glimpse into the process of entering IBOLC. From early morning physical training to tactical exercises, see how I'm navigating the challenges of IBOLC and staying focused on my goals.

    things have changed since I went through IOBC in 1971 and stayed in OLson Hall which I assume has been torn down by now.

    2 questions, did your unit cover the hotel cost or did you have to? Also what did you do about meals since your in a hotel?

    • @AlexPhamYouTube
      @AlexPhamYouTube  ปีที่แล้ว

      Unit covers it and you are given BAH if you have a lease back at home. You get free access to the DFAC but we all just went to the px and ate Qdoba or Panda Express after 2 weeks
      It’s just easier and quicker during TLP / garrison weeks. You’re in the field 102 days so you’ll have MRE’s for those days

    As a NG do you have to stay at the hotel or can you stay off post with a spouse?

      They give you BAH (as long as you show a lease that started at least 3 months before your bolc date) and hotel so your room will just be empty’s

    Is it mandatory for NG soldiers to go straight to ranger school after completing IBOLC?

    • @AlexPhamYouTube
      @AlexPhamYouTube  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      It is not. It’s recommended though because it’s hard to go again later. You’ll go to RTAC first. But as long as you pass your RPA at IBOLC, you’ll talk to your state and get extended orders for RTAC. If you pass RTAC, you go to the next Ranger class

    Being National Guard do they still send you to airborne and ranger school?

      Yeah just need to pass your RPA’s at IBOLC. Airborne is more dependent on your unit and state, but it’s easier to walk onto after Ranger
