I just graduated BLC. Class 02-22 Camp Humphreys 8th Army whightman. Let me tell y’all. Biggest tip I have for you is to participate. As long as you participate and know your shit. You will breeze perfectly. It also matters if you have good SGLs and class. Thank god I had both. I loved my SGLs and class. We still have our group chat and talk on it. That’s how tight we are still. Point is. Participate. If you want commandants list. Be prepared to bust your ass. That is competitive as hell. Good luck y’all. Hope this helps as well as SFC.Frenchs info
Yup, all still relevant. Tryna go to BLC this year and I got good info. Everything you mentioned checks out with the possibility of Land Nav and STX Lanes in future cycles. Got this from someone who just successfully completed BLC. I may end up having to be one of the 1st cycles that performs and grades those things in BLC. Eagerly consuming info to give me that advantage prior to even getting signed up, but everyone at my command knows I want it. Hungry. Reviewing all the fundamentals.⭐
Sergeant I'm kinda concern about BLC, I'm going to in january, my biggest concern is because I have a language barrier and not understand what they say or what they need, I want to do my best and pass everything
I go to the Promotion board in 2 days. I need all the wisdom I can get. I’ve been in for 4.5 years and have avoided becoming E5 cuz I’m scared of failing as a leader.but now I realize that it’s gonna happen so imma send it and hopefully do well
Hey SFC French. I have BLC coming up at Camp Cook in Louisiana and I'm in the National Guard. I've been working out to stay in shape and reading over some material to build that muscle memory. What are some things to prep for?
Hi @CeeBee. I came across a video that may help you. This video definitely gave some good insight on what to expect. The title of the video is “What To Expect At BLC II How To Make Commandant’s List II US Army Vlog” by Kenyelxo
Sfc French I went through (then) wlc and when I graduated and got back to my unit and had to give pt, my sqd Ldr told me what I learned was WRONG. Have you or any one u know experience this
Common, most the times NCOS and leaders do things a certain way because that’s all they know or just how they learned it, so it can’t be wrong to them. But it is. Army ISMs
Well 05/17/2024 is a day when BLC and DLC are not requirements to promote to E-5. As well as non promotables are allowed in BLC. Crazy world we live in. Anywho, I'm in BLC right now, and yes, I did my DLC and promotion board. Thanks for the tips, SFC French👍🤙
Just graduated. My biggest tip to you is participate. You will be graded on it. Establish that foundation when you arrive. I did as well as my roommate. We both were loved by our SGLs lol
I’m going to BLC soon, not going to disclose any info. The world doesn’t need to know it. I’m prior service and the navy thinks soldiers are uneducated. Funny, there isn’t a BLC for the navy except for Moral and ethics which anyone can go to given the time and budget. I can tell you soldiers are educated and not what the navy thinks of us (since I’m army now). Let’s show the BLC instructors we aren’t just good looks. 😁
@@christopherh7836i just got back from BLC a few weeks ago from Ohio, and it was pretty easy. Besides the presentations, since I have a horrible fear of standing in front of groups. Then the first week or 2 they throw a lot at you. So you're only going to be studying, which is fine, because that's why you are there anyways.
Lol the one I went to you pretty much write a lot and do a public speaking presentation not hard just a little nerve racking at first pretty easy and only the highest gpa makes com list
All of this advice is good but I just dont see anything that says... this soldier pass BLC.. he is a leader. These classes should be eliminated. Its a waste of time.
This is the definition of the blind leading the blind The classes are there to ensure that the soldiers who pass are worthy of leading LOWER ENLISTED As a Sgt (and as one climbs up the ranks) it’s our job to ensure ranks from CPL down are being LEAD and GUIDED and TAUGHT the ways of the army We thrive on discipline and structure…without that…it’s just a group of individuals doing their own thing…not effective for our country at all
I remember when the ARMY wasn't Soft and BLC was called WLC WARRIOR LEADERS COURSE ....atleast i thought that's what we were.....now we are BASIC....I'd rather be BASED.

How are you graded if from another branch going to BLC?
So many people I know went through lc and said they barely did anything. Just the three essays Thats it
You have to do everything he said you do.
Can you still use sophia credit
When can I start it? Do I start it in AIT? Or once im a Corporal/Specialist?
You have to be an E4 and your unit has to send you.
This is when sgt. Need to be paid more its like a manger position at target x10
Too bad the army doesn't test their ncos on job knowledge or something useful.
I’m excited for BLC this August
Just graduated. My biggest tip to you is participate. You will be graded on it. Establish that foundation when you arrive. I did as well as my roommate. We both were loved by our SGLs lol
I attend BLC this August as well in NJ.

Unless you fail the ACFT, Height/Weight and you just DONT do any of the work...it's impossible to fail.
Do you have to take an ACFT specific to BLC or do your two a year count towards it?
@@elizabethdegroot89 you have to take the AFCT within 30 days before BLC and you will take one at BLC
The one im going to, everybody takes it day 2@@elizabethdegroot89
Glad to hear this. I'm more anxious than nervous about blc
