Just wanting to know what the barracks situation is like, the daily schedule, field time (if applicable), and anything else that can be shared.

The welcome letter should give you the layout. There is a field exercise and at least 10 days didactic, to include giving briefs. Look on the website for the Individual Student Assessment Plan (ISAP). This is your bible for the how they evaluate you. You will probably stay in a hotel on post or a Marriot style hotel off post. Either way, it's two person to a room. You will also not be given per diem for food, the DFAC across the street from the NCOA is your food source. It's fast and furious until phase 3. Good luck.

I will be there Jan 31st for ALC phase 2. You should've been contacted by your SGL with ISAP and welcome packet outlining everything you need to do prior to coming to Ft Sam and what to bring. I had a suspense date of Jan 1st to get some documents turned in. Check your military email it would've been sent to that the middle of December.

To me, it was simply a rehash of WLC with some AIT thrown in for the MOS specific phase 3. While that's how it was for us Ws, I had some 68Ss tell me theirs was crazy difficult and down to the cellular level of things. While this would have been great for my phase 3, as far as I was concerned, but the prev med guys weren't happy with that level of instruction. They also said the lead up to an instruction of that level was thin at best. That's all I know for your side of the house
