electron_si Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 Well, lyster was a huge help and really easy to work with. The surgeon just checked the blocks and initialed. Too easy. That's good to hear now you don't have anything to worry about. When is your start date for WOCS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hit me up on PM and I'll give you my cell phone number so you can contact me after WOCS and I can give you the rundown on stuff. Edit: are you 4 week or 6 week course?

asepaugh Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Will my family be able to join me at Fort Rucker in between BCT and WOCS or will they have to wait until after WOCS to join me for WOFT. Thanks Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is required for the original application packet prior to the board... do you have to redo it within 30 days of WOCS? Headin there in late August!

av8rnik Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 I remember the hot topic when I was going through was the extra pair of dress pants. We had a WOCC forum that our class had a special thread for and mulitple people posted in their about the extra pair of pants. One of our new TAC officers posted don't bother attending the course if you can't bring what's on the packing list. Long story short, if it says 2 pairs of pants they wanted to see 2 pairs of pants. Here is some words of wisdom on the ASU's. Drop them off to be altered either on or off post. They will keep them until graduation. All you have to do is hang the receipt on a hanger. That way your dress uniform (and the all weather coat) wont get tossed when they toss room. Everyone in my class did that and we got our uniforms back after our senior tac inspection after the field.

Thanks Aaron Your family can move down but the Army will not pay for it. On top of that, your family wont be able to see you except for at church on sunday's. If you are coming straight from basic to WOCS i would jsut wait to move your family until after WOCS so you will get the Army to pay for the move.

Yes that is great advice I wish I would have only heard of it sooner. Our class is worried about religious service though so they are suggesting we keep pants and SS shirt. Any thoughts?
