Your OP said one chick was top of her class in IBOC? Is that Army equivalent of Marine IOC?
Yes
No. Lol. Not even close.
The Army sent observers to the Marine Corps Basic Officer Course (the course all officers go to, including pilots and judge advocates, prior to their MOS school) and determined it met or exceeded all the standards and requirements of the Army IBOLC. That is why a Marine officer of any MOS can interservice transfer to the army as an infantry officer without being required to attend IBOLC.
IOC is a completely different animal. When I was a student at The Basic School IOC had approximately a 40% washout rate- most of them within the first two days.
When I was an instructor there, it was still hovering around 30%.
IBOLC is more like The Basic School BOC. Being top of her class at Ranger School would be more akin to being top of an IOC class. Not exactly- but that is a better comparison.
