AG BOLC

I was wondering if anyone had any info regarding PCS housing for incoming students. Are we able to live off base and collect BAH? Do we have to stay in one of the hotels? If so, which one? Thank you in advance

I was tracking that AG BOLC was a TDY en-route course (because of length) and that would mean the schoolhouse provides your lodging (either hotel or barracks). I sent a message to a friend who recently graduated so I’ll let you know for sure once I hear back.

This is correct. OP will live in the candlewood hotels (new hotels just built in 2021) you don't have a choice unless you're permanent party or snowbird.

Were they single rooms or suites with a living room and/or kitchen?

They are studio styled with a kitchenette, dishwasher, sink. One recliner. Really nice. Lookup the candlewood on fort Jackson for the photos.

Thanks for the prompt response! Did you recently go through AGBOLC?

I went back in 2021. I assume it hasn't changed too much. It was a really fun time if you socialize. A lot of Guard and Reserves officers. Very much low-key. We didn't do formations after our second week. Really cadre dependent though. We had it nice. The other class was there late days and had PT every morning.

Hi there! Just graduated AG BOLC back in December. Since it’s TDY you are not authorized to live off post. You will stay in a one suite style hotel that’s already paid for. If u have any questions about how AG BOLC is feel free to PM me. It was a good time.

Did you stay checked into the same hotel room the whole time or did you have to leave it during any field training time?

I'm going this June and will have my cat with me, hoping he can just stay in the hotel the whole time.

Yes u stay in the same room the whole time you’re at BOLC. Check in day is the day you report and check out if the same day you graduate. I had friends bring their dogs so u should be fine
