Well, in AIT, the focus was more on learning a skill set. We did morning PT, showered, had chow then off to training. The drill seargeants were more like baby sitters and didn't harass all that much.

Ait just study and study. Depends on mos, but study or if you fail your exams or test you'll be in trouble. Reclassed or recycled. So on free times just study, dont go out to have fun, etc etc just put your head in the books and slides they give you. Treat this like college, get some high GPA's

For people who have AIT over Christmas (holidays) you will get the option to go home for 10-15 days right before Christmas I believe. You will not be paid for those days unless you do recruiters assistance in which you can be paid for 10 of those days.

I had AIT at Ft. Lee Virginia in 1994. I was a petroleum supply specialist.

Is there a break between basic training and AIT? Can we get some stuff from home before we ship out to AIT or is it immediately after basic? Can you wear tank tops in basic training and/or at AIT?

I went to 76a quarter master school at ft Ord right after basic. Then I went to ft Benning for jump school. Then I became a tech supply clerk at ft campbell for about a year until the powers that be decided to create a hot refueling team, making me a 76w before I ETS. June 72 to 75.

I'm signing up this Monday. I'm nervous as fuck but excited.

I was in OSUT so I had the same drills. We were treated exactly the same as in basic except we were called 'soldiers' instead of 'recruits'. We still had KP duty much to our disappointment. However during KP our drills would let us have cookies or pizzas the cooks offered us. We also felt like we were free when at one training area our drills let us fall out to eat lunch at the mess hall completely on our own. (We could even get dessert and ice cream!) The other thing (and a big one for us) was while we did march in the morning to whatever training area we got to ride back in a cattle truck when finished. Sometimes we'd get done with training at 1300 and we got the privilege of spending it locked in our barracks in the sweltering Missouri summer heat. However, by this time our drills left us alone until chow instead of randomly tormenting us. We started having floor buffer rodeos for entertainment.

Thank for the Service!!

We have only 1 hr personal time for 12w in Gulfport, MS here, from 1915 to 2020. After dinner chow you have to spend 1 hr studying and then 1 hr for bay maintenance.

I see you got more subscribers, im glad your videos are the best! How much push ups do you do per day? I do 30, thank for great videos!

Great video! 😉

My AIT in Ft. Lee wasn't really easier. We had PT twice a day because our DI was a jerk. He made us do pushups in tall weeds and on rocky asphalt in the morning etc. and battle buddy exercises after class inside. We also didn't get privleges until after longer periods of time and new groups with the other DI got them pretty much right away. The other DI's hated our DI the head one, and so treated us bad as well. One tried to run us off the road with a bus. We had to march to and from mess hall all together for a month. We got marched back and forth a few times because of power tripping. We had to scrub the floors with spatulas the first night and were told not to go to sleep and stay up cleaning all night. We were on lock down most of the time. It sucked worse than BASIC

It's funny reading stories like this, and then DIs wondering why there's so many restrictions on them today.

One of the biggest secrets, not that anybody's trying to keep it that way, of Army IET training (that's your BCT and AIT) is the "hold-over" and "hold-under" time. Now this doesn't happen to everybody, and when it does it's usually not for long, but when you go from BCT to AIT you might not get into class right away. Just like in BCT you have reception to in-process you, at AIT you will be placed into a class with other's in your MOS that also just arrived from BCT. Well, at least that's the plan. There has to be enough of you to form a class and there also has to be an available instructor to teach it. Even though this was scheduled before you even left MEPS, there could be a snag or two in this. If you are in an MOS that few people choose, you might get there and there's only two others in your MOS. There not going to create a class for 3 soldiers. So a week goes by and another bus pulls in with a load of fresh meat from BCT. You anxiously ask them "What's your MOS? What's your MOS?" as they file off the bus. You are hoping to get enough of them to warrant the creation of a new class so you can start your training. You might wait a few weeks, or even longer. That's what we call a "Hold Under". During this time you are going to be working on some details around base or KP at the D-FAC. There is also CQ (I don't remember what that stands for) Duty. This is the easiest but most boring duty you will likely do. It's essentially a cross between a doorman, a sentry, and a receptionist, mostly that last one. You answer the phone, announce "Attention!" and "At Ease!" when staff enter the bldg., and possibly maintain a log book of these events. Unless you get tasked with that or KP you will go to the S-shop and wait to get selected by some Sgt. to accompany him/her on garbage police detail, or something similar. That one was my favorite, actually. You are essentially doing these duties while the rest of your platoon is in school. Then you return for dinner and evening formations. You still have those few hours to yourself in the evening. Now because your essentially on probation you won't be leaving post or possibly not even going far from the company area. There might be a few places you are allowed to go on post nearby such as the gym, church, maybe the movie theater on post. Usually if your not in school you can't have a GPA so you can't qualify for a higher pass status. However typically your pass status qualifiers includes time there at that unit. So if you have been there long enough you might still qualify to advance to higher privileges. This may sound disappointing but just coming off of BCT you will still feel very free during this time, especially if you didn't do basic at Jackson ;). Even if you do get into class right away, you still have those time in and other qualifiers to meet to advance your pass status. When I was in, your GPA, PFT scores, and General Soldiering were considered to determine what pass status you qualified for, as well as meeting the time line requirements. Now a "Hold Over" is similar but this is when you have just completed training and have to wait for some reason to move on. My first exposure to this was in BCT. We had a room in our barracks with two graduates that were waiting for classes to be available for their AIT's. At least that was the rumor. Instead of shipping them there and making them "Hold-Unders" they were waiting it out there. Sucked to be them. We were told to stay out of their room and don't bother them. They were free to come and go and we almost never saw them. They were like MIB to us, very mysterious. When I was in AIT we had a hold under platoon and when you got a class assignment you were moved to another platoon. Then we had a hold over platoon. These were mostly people waiting for a medical discharge to come through or something else that was keeping them in limbo. They didn't have a unit calling for them and they were not free to just go home. They were still property of that company until new orders. Not happy times for them. In my opinion, this is an advantage to being a Guard or Reserve soldier. They have a unit they have been promised to, actually assigned to, once they graduate. If their expected date of graduation comes and goes someone from that unit is going to be calling looking for their new soldier and wanting to know "what's the hold up?". If you are Active Duty, you belong to that training unit until you get orders for your first duty station to come through shortly before graduation. So if something happens where you can't or won't get orders assigning you somewhere, nobody even knows you exist. Not saying don't go Active, but maybe go Guard or Reserve, then either go AGR later or cross over to Active after returning from AIT.

@@kronosg.3515 Well I can't really say anything regarding Meade as I've never been there, nor to Jackson but Jackson has a certain rep, shall we say. I knew some really good troops that went there but from what I could tell most of the BCT units there were really soft, hence the nick name "Relaxin' Jackson". Most recruits do go there but I went to Ft. Leonard Wood, Mo., then on to Ft. Eustis, VA for AIT. Jackson in August is going to be miserably hot, that I know. It's all good though because you don't want an easy ride right? I mean we all want to know we earned our way to wherever we end up. Military life is all about challenge and the more you endure the more you know you can take. The tougher you are mentally the easier everything is that life throws at you. My advice on everything you do in your career is to push yourself to be the best you can at it. It is so true that you really do get out of it what you put into it. This may sound like a recruitment brochure but I assure you that just like your standards for passing an APFT only get tougher, so does everything else. As you move up in rank or gain more experience more will be expected of you. In various schools and units the basic standards are not acceptable. They can and often do raise the bar. For example just like you may need a higher APFT percentage for a certain pass status in AIT, likewise you may get to a unit and find you have to maintain an even higher score there. Some units use the max as their minimums, such as in SOF. Many combat arms units have that same standard as well. That's just an example the same is true for other areas of your career. The APFT just makes for an easy example to offer. Best of luck with everything. Just maintain a positive attitude and focus on being a good team player, because getting along with those you live with is a huge part of it, and you will have some great memories from it all. I still remember it fondly and civilians make me miss the life fairly regularly. :)

Our DSs at AIT were laid back. They never smoked the whole platoon or company for one person's screw up. They basically looked the other way when we did stuff we were not supposed to do until gold phase, like leaving post in Civilian clothes. (Before gold, we could go off post but had to be in Class As) We went over to chow on our own time - No chow formation. Also, if we had fireguard, we had 'fireguard recovery' and no PT. Also no PT on the rain. 11 weeks for 63J

Do you have your phones back while at AIT?

Intelligence school at Ft Devens, Mass in the 90s. The company had 8 platoons. You start in a platoon/barracks that is pretty strict. Drill sgt is kind of a dick like in basic. You have daily PT and formation, go to class all day, and come home. You can go around the base and do what you want during downtime. As you progress, you move into other platoons with easier drill sgt's and more privileges. By the time you get to platoon 7 or 8, you can start wearing civies, go off post on weekends, have your own personal car, etc. So you basically had guys at all different stages of training rotating through the program at the same time. You typically hang out with guys at your level of the program, but you can make friends with other guys at different stages in the course as well. Plus it was a joint service training base, so you would have classes and make friends with marines, air force, and navy folks that are training in the same MOS as you. But they all bunked in their own separate units. The drill sgts were in charge when you were at the barracks. But you had separate instructors for classes (again could be marines or air force or navy instructors teaching you). Was a nice experience.

When you are at fort sam for medical mos schools the phase process is so much different. Also going to a mos school as prior service is like a vacation.

We stayed in WWII wooden barracks 50 to a floor, with 25 bunk beds. we got up at 6, did personal hygiene, cleaned the barracks, went to breakfast, and were at classes by 8. Did lunch from noon to 1, back to class until 4, which was when we did PT. After that, you were completely free, until 6AM again. And the same thing from Friday until Monday morning. You were allowed your own clothes, electronics, such as they were in the '70's But what totally blew my mind was our arrival speech. "All of you are mechanics now. Your test scores have proven that. You are here to get familiar with our equipment. So pay attention, OK?

What happens if your AIT is 17 weeks split into two parts? Would you still possibly be able to bring like a small tv and an xbox?

I recommend against it. Although more relaxed than basic training, you will still be busy in AIT. In addition, there may not be storage space for electronics and there is a risk of theft.

Going to AIT in Fort Lee! Thanks for the info

It feels like AIT when the Drill SGT got implemented really sucked. Though the time when there were Platoon SGT was when things were pretty relaxed.

We had no drill Sergeants when I attended AIT back in 1976! It was all about getting your MOS certified and then Off to europe for the remainder of your time!

You should state your name in the beginning of every video because ive watched alot of your videos and i still dont kno who u are but thanks for all of your advice.

My name is in every intro. Thanks for the feedback though but I don't like the idea of saying my name every time I make a video. I used to do that a lot and honestly it's not even that important lol

What is the AIT like for 37F?

is there anytime in ait school and airborne school to do some ruck march training for ranger school?

AIT at fort lee, for paralegals? The absolute worst experience of my life. I wanted to go back to basic training every single day. We didn’t get our phone for 7 weeks out of the 10 week class, couldn’t go on pass (go around post) for 8 weeks, woke up earlier than we did in basic, sat in a school house 10 hours a day, etc. It was horrible

Can you bring your car at the start of ait or after 21 weeks of ait?

It varies depending on MOS and location. Long AIT may allow after time, others will prohibit

My recruiter told me that if a AIT was from 6 months or more (24+ weeks aprox) I could bring my family. I ask him because I have a husband and two kids.

25Q at Gordon in 2007. It was fun

Is it true that to leave for Basic you can be 24 (maximum) percent body fat and the 20 (maximum) percent body fat only comes in to the picture after basic?

Greg 25 not sure what your asking but the ARMY has height and weight requirements for your age, height and weight for example when I was in i had, at 5'8"(68") tall weigh no more that 174lbs. If I weight over that I couldn't have more than 22% body fat or I would get a no go on the Height and weight which results in being enrolled in the fat body program.

In 1992 there was zero difference between AIT and Basic except once in a great while they would give us a Saturday off. Yeah, we went to classrooms but overall zero difference. Same 30 bed racks, same Drill Sergeants, same crap.

Did you bring anything with you to Basic? (ie. Xbox, cellphone, laptops) or were you able to go home to get things between basic and AIT? Or did you just have things shipped to you at AIT?

terrell wadsworth hey hit me up I'm currently at ait here for 15y. I'm married too. They won't move your wife with you. That's on your dime. You won't be able to spend time with her as phasing up here is redicoulous not like other aits based on time.. We are the home of tradoc so we are super strict Giving the length of this ait...it really sucks. No car no weekend passes no hotels stupid civilian dress code. Also bravo 1/222 is going to be your assigned. Company see you here..

@@delriokeren Not to say your recruiter is dishonest, but you should really research this using recent vets and current AIT soldiers, such as those here. Those that are doing it and living it are the only one's that can tell you the truth. Remember that these things can vary from post to post and unit to unit. So don't trust the info that isn't specific to where you are going.
