Does anyone have the warrant officer candidate school (WOCS) packing list?

I'm currently preparing to submit my packet for warrant officer. I'm looking to start buying items from the packing list now in advance instead of having to rush. I've check multiple websites for the packing list. I'm not sure if any of these websites have it or if I'm just overlooking it. If anyone can point me in the right direction to get the list or don't mind emailing it to me it would surely be appreciated. [login to see] , [login to see]

I think you're putting the cart before the horse here ... or you're just supremely confident.
Once you are boarded and accepted to become a WOC, you should have a detailed welcome packet sent to you by the school when you are scheduled by your recruiter/HRC for your WOBC.

However, you should look over the Technical Logistics College website* at the Army Sustainment University as that is where you'll be going for WOBC (assuming you're selected by the board). There are training prerecs you can knock out and although there isn't a packing list for WOBC, there is one for BOLC*. As both of the companies supporting BOLC (C & D company) and TLC (E company) are both part of the ASU Support Battalion, it's very possible they will have a lot in common.

Worst case - contact the Course Manager for the Quartermaster WOBC [login to see] ). However, I'd be interested in how the conversation goes ...

"Hi Chief So-and-so, I'm SGT Tucker. I'm trying to get a packing list for the Logistics WOBC Phase I."

* "You should have gotten a welcome packet from the school. Let me check ... SGT Tucker ... SGT Tucker ... I can't seem to find you as registered in any of the upcoming classes. Are you sure you've got a confirmed seat in ATTRS?"

"Oh, I'm not in ATTRS yet. I'm going to submit my packet to the selection board and I just wanted to get a head-start on buying anything I needed to so I'm not rushed later."

* ".... Ummmm.... Well, I'll give you points for confidence. How about you call back if you still have questions after you receive your welcome packet or if you haven't heard anything in six weeks after the board tells you that you were selected."
