Currently in army national guard OCS. Commissioning in October. Have one year left of online classes to complete bachelors degree. Tentative plan is to wait to attend BOLC until after finishing bachelors degree. (My current contract says I have until being eligible for captain to complete bachelors.)
Any pros or cons to postponing BOLC?

Online college is easier to schedule than a BOLC reservation.
Get the BOLC reservation and schedule your remaining college around it.

Generally speaking, it’s rarely a good idea to turn down/delay a professional development school.

I'd recommend completing BOLC now. I've seen quite a few OCS grads not make CPT due to putting it off. Life happens. If you can go now, go now.
