The day after we returned from Leaders Forge we spent the entire day, from 0600-2000 cleaning weapons and then repeated the process the next day. I have not been in the Army very long but I do not think that making your company clean weapons for 28 hours is taking care of soldiers that have been in the field for 10 days, but again I am new. After the overkill cleaning we were finally given a break. The next week was a series of briefs and classes.
Graduation was low key, short and sweet just the way I like it. It was nice to get the coveted blue cord, I finally felt like I had accomplished something in the Army. I was also able to get myself onto the Commandants list even though I managed to do poorly on some quiz's.
IBOLC was a great course, I learned so much from the cadre and my peers. After spending a little time at Darby (Ranger School), I believe that it is IBOLC that is the premiere leadership school in the Army.
