Since I am flagged for failing my ACFT, is it true that I cannot attend CHBOLC until the flag is removed?

Greetings all! I've just been selected to be an Army Chaplain. I already have dates to go to CHBOLC. Unfortunately, I failed my ACFT (just the run) due to taking it after being in the ER with my wife for three days. I will be taking another ACFT this week. Just for confirmation: since I am flagged I cannot attend CHBOLC until the flag is removed, correct? I have yet to be scrolled (i.e. Congress has not blessed off on the accepted applicants) and do not have orders cut. Although, I have been slotted for my course dates. Thanks!

AR 600-8-2, Ch 3, para 3-1, subsection 2: (2) For officers, military schools include, but are not limited to, Officer Education System courses and functional area and skill specialty training courses. The Basic Officer Leader courses are not included.
So it shouldn't prevent you from going to CHBOLC.

Technically, you cannot attend a BOLC until you are a 2LT.
But, if you read through ch 3 of AR 600-8-2, you'll find that flags do not prevent a flagged officer from attending BOLC.

Roger SGM. I was told by the chaplain accessions officer that I will not pin on my bars until I get to CHBOLC; my commission will happen day 1 of the school.
