Hey everyone,

I’m planning ahead for IBOLC and am hoping to move down with my wife. I wanted to ask what the housing situation is actually like for married LTs going through IBOLC.

Are students generally allowed to live on base with their spouse, or is it more common to live off base? If on-base housing is an option, how early should I start that process, and what does the timeline usually look like from applying to actually getting a house?

Hey everyone,

I’m getting my stuff together for CST and had a question about the boot requirement on the packing list. It lists both Boots, Combat, Hot Weather and Boots, Combat, Temperate.

Right now, I wear Garmont T8 NFSs, and I have two pairs that I’m planning to bring. I’m a little confused about whether those count for both categories, or if CST is expecting two specific types of issued boots.

Does anyone know what exact boots they are referring to with “hot weather” and “temperate”? Also, what happens if you show up with two pairs of the same approved boot instead of one hot weather and one temperate pair?

I just want to make sure I’m not missing something for the layout. Am I supposed to get some other type of boot, like a steel-toe or issued-style boot, or are two pairs of Garmont NFSs good to go?

Appreciate any help from people who have been through it recently.
