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 at Ft. Knox. Commissioned on a Saturday and was on active duty orders on Monday.
