Anyone with any insight into how class-up/overbooked classes work for IBOLC?

Currently am at OCS and I recently received an email from saying I have an IBOLC report date of 07 June 2019. That's great, I'm ready to go and get it started but am curious as to how that will work. Before I was branched there were 255 folks already slotted for that class with a maximum of 176 slot available. Does anyone know if that date will remain the same or if I am going to end up getting pushed back to a later class?

Dont worry about that. Just concentrate on your branch. They will figure it out. You worry about being a leader and soldiering.

This sounds like a situation you are better off not over-thinking. If you have a BOLC slot, go. If you get dropped or wait listed let your training/ readiness guys work it out.

SGT Jones, just a guess but I'd say a PT score cut off is a likely way to turn 255 into 176. Number 177-255 will enjoy another month of area beautification, gravel raking and bumper number painting I'd bet.
