    Time between commissioning and BOLC

    Attention soon to be Army 2 nd LTs. Make sure you have a back up plan in place after your graduate and commission. It could be 3-6 months before you start BOLC and in some cases even longer. If you want your AD clock to start ASAP consider gold bar recruiting or cadre at Ft. Knox. DS was cadre...

    Be smart folks

    DS was home for a quick visit last week. During his time at FT. Knox he has observed the following behavior from some of his fellow officers. A couple of newly minted (soon to be newly discharged) lieutenants get arrested for DUI. Recent 2nd LT. get arrested in Nashville for some disturbance...

    Get serious about PT

    For those of you going to BOLC soon.... Be sure to maintain your physical fitness. A large number of newly minted 2nd LTs currently at Ft. Knox were just informed that they will not be released to go to their BOLC until they pass the APFT. NOT a good way to start ones Army career I would guess.
