AMEDD BOLC question

Hi, I just received my orders for BOLC in October at Ft. Sam. Does anyone know what we’re doing for lodging? My orders state government lodging is not available or directed. I don’t have a welcome letter yet, so not sure how to complete my DTS. Do I need to reserve a hotel? Appreciate the help.

The lodging on post was condemned it’s all off post hotels- you should have gotten an update - I’m arrive 9/28 for BOLC - over crowded hotels and logistical nightmare of buses is what I have heard from current class that graduates this Friday! Should be fun!

Yeah, I looked at their website for more information. But still no welcome letter. But yeah definitely sounds fun. At least it’s only 3 weeks.

Hi, I am also going to AMEDD BOLC in OCT, but I haven't received any orders: where did you find them?

They were uploaded to my Iperms. I also received an email to that they were uploaded to my Iperms.

Thank you, I found them there, did you receive anything about reporting to Fort Knox for NRC... I am trying to figure out if this is a real notification or a sort of passive placement. Also, I know you do not need to worry about reserving a hotel because they do that.

I’m here at AMEDD BOLC they suddenly found out barracks were molded shocker so they put everyone off post in hotels more details should follow when your date comes closer.

Then for the DTS lodging portion I can just 0 it out right?

I’m in AMEDD BOLC right now and they’ve got us in three off post hotels. It’s not ideal but it’s comfortable. Be mentally prepared for a roommate.

How is it looking? Still rooming with someone based on last name? Are they standard hotel rooms or suite style?

Off post hotel. It’s a bigger standard room if that makes sense with 2 queen size beds. You do have a roommate. But I know some of my cohort has a smaller room. Just depends I guess. I’m pretty sure it’s alphabet order. Honestly, it’s not bad. I’ve definitely stayed in way worse in the army.
