Selected for Direct Commission last November, Active Duty 66T, ER RN. Does anyone have any input or advice for DCC and BOLC for a prior SM?

The DCC comes and goes. They restarted it again several months ago and I was one of the last BOLC classes that didn't have to attend so I can't give much insight into that aspect. BOLC isn't too bad. It's pretty low threat and won't exactly push your intellectual capacity, if you catch my drift. You're in the classroom for pretty much the first 5 weeks or so. Then you do a few weeks "in the field". The field time is also pretty low threat. The living conditions aren't exactly rough at Camp Bullis. Hard floor tents with climate control, showers, and hot chow at least once a day. You also come home on the weekends. It's a piece of cake. More than anything it's a test of patience.
