Is it possible to deploy with your unit before you go to BOLC? If so can you goto BOLC while in MOB status? https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/is-it-possible-to-deploy-with-your-unit-before-you-go-to-bolc-if-so-can-you-goto-bolc-while-in-mob-status <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>My Unit is deploying next year and I would like to go but I&#39;m going to OCS next year. It&#39;s still unclear whether I&#39;ll get to go AOCS or if I&#39;ll have to do the traditional program. If I can go accelerated there&#39;s a possibility I can be done before they leave but that leaves the question of BOLC. Will I most likely have to sit this one out?

So no in order for you to deploy as a 2LT you need to be qualified.

You&#39;ll be assigned to the rear-detachment and continue with your service there until your school date.
