I leave for BLC in about a month, I have my folder with all required documentation complete, and the course overview. Just passed my diagnositc PT test (to get sent to school) with flying colors. What should I expect at BLC? Any advice on topics to study BEFORE arriving? Any advice is appreciated; I really want to set myself up for success. Thank you in advance!

D&C, conducting PRT, writing awards, putting together and presenting PowerPoint presentations (they will assign a topic just brush up on how to put it together and speaking to a group) land nav (if still instructed at BLC, you will take another pt test while at the school, issuing opords and fragos and carrying out those orders (basic infantry tactics) I went through in 2012 so things have probably changed some but those are the basics.

Honestly, I wouldn't stress too much, you should have plenty time for learning while there. But, you could brush up on writing NCOERs and awards, overview basic infantry tactics and practice D+C. That should help.
