MPBOLC soon and was curious about the lodging for the officer students there? Is it Army lodging with a roomate? Barracks style? Or our own room? Thanks!

Sorry--that first sentence should read "I am heading to MPBOLC soon..."

You going to Fr. Leonardwood? If you stay in the barracks close to the schoolhouse you will have your own room but share a bathroom and kitchen. If you are in the older quarters you will have your own room and bathroom.

Yes I am going to Ft. Leonard Wood. Thanks for the info! Do you happen to know the policy of having your spouse stay with you? I'm not PCS'ing, so I doubt its possible, but wondered anyways.

Many have had their loved ones stay over for the weekends...probably not authorized..but it happens.

I am heading out there also. How easy is it to bring your family and have them stay off post somewhere for the duration. Are there any cities near by where I could find temporary housing for my family? Do you have to live in the barracks? Thanks for the help!

I am there now...you live in Army lodging alone, similar to a hotel room with a kitchenette and bathroom. You can bring your family and live in a larger Army lodging room, but you will no longer receive BAH while here. Otherwise, your spouse can visit for up to 30 days for $5 a day. St. Robert is the "city" outside the gate, its really small, I doubt you'd be able to find much close.

Can anyone answer how long the School is for an Officer? Also, can the spouse be there?

Thanks

It is "12" weeks long--10 of instruction and two half weeks for inprocessing and outprocessing. You can bring a spouse for up to 30 days if you pay Army Lodging an amended daily rate ($5 a day extra). It is not a PCS move, but instead TDY, so spouses are not officially authorized.
