What advice or experiences would you like to share for an 88M attending ALC at Fort Lee, VA?

Anything in particular you are wanting to know? I'm an instructor at Fort Lee, and although I am an AIT instructor I have taught ALC at the Academy. I am a 92M so even thgough I can't really tell you what to expect at your 88M school house I can help with the overall ALU environment.

Can't speculate on the 88M, ALC TRAINING specifically . Just show up in shape with a great attitude, study your academics as much as possible. Volunteer for leadership positions if they have them (Class Leader, Academic/Notes POC, etc.) and just be willing to work with your class to make the best group instruction possible. Make sure you have all your Orders/DTS travel approved for the school in advance.

But, I have been to Ft. Lee and stayed at the Logistics University there for some courses. If you don't stay at the NCO Academy (not sure if they have accommodations there) - You will be assigned to the IHG Army Hotel on post (this is the largest Holiday Inn Express-like hotel in the Army). Pretty decent accommodations. The only issue with the school there- is there is no mess hall (home of the Army Culinary School- go figure). All personnel attending school receive per diem, it can be tough to get back and forth from meals to school- so just grab snacks there- or there's an Einstein Bagel Shop & Subway there on campus.

Make sure you sign up for the IHG Rewards Program, it's free to join & you'll get points for staying at the Army Hotel there.

Always call the IHG Rewards Program: PH. [login to see] and ask to be signed up for the Accelerate promotion (or whatever promotion is going on at the time). You can stay for as little as 5 nights only between 1 May to 31 Jul 2018 & earn up to 43,000 bonus points. Download the IHG Rewards Program App to track your progress & books rooms. IHG rewards is the #1 rewards program for hotels IMO.

Good Luck in your course!!

I am currently at Fort Lee best advice I have is don’t forget standards and discipline as an NCO. When you get to the NCOA you will be amazed at how some NCOs forget they are NCOs and set yourself apart from your peers.
