Typically No, you will proceed right to your AIT (MOS training) right after Basic Training, unless you are a Reserve soldier you might be able to go home after Basic
For your training they will send you based on what you decide you want to do. If you ask your recruiter he/she should be able to tell you where you go for your basic training. good luck!
Yes
You would go through OBT - Officer Basic Training. There are no enlisted nurses.
To be a military nurse, you would go through OBT - Officers Basic Training - which is a bit different from the basic training enlisted personnel go through.
It depends on your MOS. They like to send you to the closest basic training base to your AIT training base because it's cheaper that way.
I believe he had an Infantry MOS, in which case, he would've done One Station Unit Training (Basic Combat Training and Advanced Individual Training, rolled into one package) at Fort Benning, Georgia.
Personnel that join the military as officers (doctors, dentists, ministers, lawyers) attend a basic officer's branch course instead of basic combat training.
The only way to enter the US Army as a soldier without going through US Army Basic Training is to be a prior service member, in which case, you would have already gone through Basic Training/boot camp. Otherwise, the answer is no. You could gain employment as a Department of Defence civilian employee, but a lot of those jobs come with a stipulation that you join a reserve component of the military, which is still going to require you to go through Entry Level Training. Even officers have a Basic Training they go to - OBT, or Officers Basic Training.
