What is the Branch Qualifying Course for a 67J?

2016-05-05T13:13:27-04:00

Curious as this has stumped me and I have not found it in DA PAM 600-3 nor NGR 600-101. It was also not clarified by PPOM 16-010 published yesterday.

Typically, I understand that one either attends a BOLC or CCC in order to be branch qualified. In the ARNG, for the purposes of promotion in a 67J position, is completion of the C2F7 (MEDEVAC Doctrine) considered the BQ course? Or, must one finish AV BOLC Ph II and C2F7?

I have some good files for 67J career progression that might answer this. Send me a reminder to [login to see]

I think what you are looking for is in: Department of the Army Pamphlet 600–4 Personnel–General Army Medical Department Officer Development and Career Management http://www.apd.army.mil/pdffiles/p600_4.pdf

I went through AMEDD CCC with a 67J. It depends on whether you branched to AMEDD or AV.

I went through the Doctrine course and I'm now a 67J, Aviator, branched MS and a newly appointed Commander of an Aviation Medevac Company. My promotion is also at NGB. Hope this helps.

You will go to MS BOLC at Ft. Sam and then go to BOLC/Flight School at Ft. Rucker. 67J skip the "common core" portion of BOLC since they already completed a BOLC. The common core portion was land nav, range, convoy ops, etc. Basic soldiering stuff. You will still be required to do the aviation-specific portion of BOLC, which is only a couple weeks.

You will not be 15-series qualified, unless you go into the guard where branch apparently doesn't matter and you can switch back and forth depending on what they need. You will have the same training as any other blackhawk pilot. On active duty, you would always be in a Medevac company in a GSAB, whereas a 15A could be in any number of units.

Sometimes regulations are great. Sometimes the no shit "ive dealt with the little white-shoed old lady in Arlington" is better.
In my case, I transitioned from 70B to 67J, and the determining factor was that I was MED branch qualified, and had completed every part of flight school down to ALC. Once that was completed I was able to submit for an AOC transition (because I was already MED branch), and receive the 67J bonus and AOC for a vacancy promotion.
I tried to do it for promotion after flight school and BOLC B at rucker, but 67j couldn't be awarded to me until after ALC. It took like 8 days to make it happen after I went to my state.
