Have you ever felt that you both drink too much, yet also too little? Thats BOLC in a nutshell.

In all seriousness, don’t stress about it. You’ll have time to acclimate. That week between when you report and when ‘class starts’ is the perfect time to get comfortable on post. If that date is really what I remember it meaning, thats the official report date right? So you should still have people arriving that day, signing in, and then in-processing on Friday. The Monday following is probably when you do the APFT, paperwork, UA, etc, etc.

Find all the places you need to find. Get all the Rangerific stuff you think you’ll need but never actually use. Pick which gym you like the most and go there. When you in process the company should have a schedule, at least of the first week. Get that from them. You’ll probably be told they are still refining it. Either press them for it, so you have an idea, or ask them for the previous class’s schedule. Obviously not the same, but should help you see what you got coming your way. When you class up they should give you a timeline of at least that first week.

The end of July/beginning of August is a crap time to go to BOLC. Thats when I did. Hot as sin. Try to get out and run the pt route, make sure you are comfortable with it, acclimate to the temp, etc. The training room will be able to tell you where it is.
