Lindsey Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 What was goin on with the gates today? Even the guards trying to make sure Shindig never steps foot on Rucker?No kidding. I sat in that line for over 30 minutes, and everyone in my class was late for the flight line haha. I got searched too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 They are... The MPs said they had a tip that Shindig would be showing up this morning so they had a 100% check going on. Seem to be taking it pretty seriously...You don't want to know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dbargs Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Does anyone have any interest in having a slack channel? Might be a little better than using shindigs post as a chat room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuffinMan Posted March 8, 2016 Report Share Posted March 8, 2016 Quick question more for clarification than anything...WOBC follows up WOCS and is 3 weeks long correct? Â Also... what is the average time frame between completing WOCS and starting WOBC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Also... what is the average time frame between completing WOCS and starting WOBC?WOBC is broken up into two parts now. Part 1 is pre-SERE and part 2 is post advanced airframe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dieseldan17 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Â Alright, how long are the separate parts? Â For a reference, I graduate WOCS on 9 June and my WOBC is scheduled for 19 June. I was told WOBC is basically 3 weeks of troop leading procedures, convoy/field tactics, leadership material geared toward the tactical platoon leader... that kind of ish... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dieseldan17 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016  Will orders for WOBC come during WOCS or before reporting? My ATRRS reservation was made for both at the same time. MY PCS orders list both my WOCS class and WOBC class in them. In short, they should both come together unless you are coming TDY or you are NG or Reserves and not active duty. I have no idea what NG and Reserves do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napoleonpp Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Since this is the chit chat thread I thought I would post in here. My unit has some money that we must spend in the next month and have an upcoming deployment. Any ideas of some stuff we could purchase to make life better overseas?

napoleonpp Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I'm not sure there are any. I know they are going to try tough boxes. They already got us the usual headlamps, gerbers. Lots of us have been deployed but just can't think of anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
