There is nothing wrong with specific questions. Ask away!

Another geotechnical forum you may be interested in can be found under "discussion forum" at

But feel free to ask your question here as well.

 

When building a foundation with 12 inch bull nose pier blocks (two hollows), core filled, reinforced with 3/4 inch rebar, is it necessary to alternate the block.

A running bond versus a stacked bond almost always results in a stronger wall, even for stemwall applications as you describe. Further, a running bond is slightly more water resistant, as the moisture path throught the mortar joints is a bit more convoluted.
