The length of your Advanced Individual Training is dependent upon which MOS you enlisted as. Different occupations require different amounts of training, hence the length of AIT varies between occupations.
Army infantry doesn't have separate BCT and AIT - they do One Station Unit Training for a total of 13 weeks.
8 weeks of basic training (BCT), and 3 weeks to 2 years of advanced individual training (AIT, depending on the jod being trained for.
For the US Army during the Vietnam War, men went to boot camp (called Basic Infantryman Combat Training). After successfully completing boot camp, they went to AIT; Advanced Individual Training. 1. AIT-Armor Crewman (tank crewmen) 2. AIT-Infantryman (grunt) 3. AIT-Engineers 4. AIT-Cooks 5. AIT-Truck drivers 6. AIT-Artilleryman 7. AIT-Mortarman 8. AIT-Medic etc.
EVERY occupation in the Army requires you go through AIT for that occupational specialty.
The length of time of advance individual training (AIT) in the US Army depends on the MOS. Some require only a few weeks, while others may take more than one year.
No, it is not, although some MOS have an AIT in which you receive some college credit for completion. @BurningSaviour Do you learn as much?
Depends on your MOS. In you're in an MOS which has One Station Unit Training (such as Army infantry), you would simply continue on as you had before, since you do your Basic and AIT in one package. If you had to go to another post for your AIT, then you'd do that.
Cavalry Scout Advanced Individual Training (AIT) typically lasts around 16 weeks at Fort Benning, Georgia. During AIT, soldiers receive specialized training in reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition skills.
BCT (Basic Combat Training) lasts nine weeks, and all recruits go through it. AIT (Advanced Individual Training) lasts different durations based on the Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) the recruit has chosen.
It can be right away, or it could be up to a month, if you decide to take leave time after AIT or OSUT and get selected for Hometown Recruiting. It depends on where they need you and how quickly.
You can split it into two parts, BCT and AIT, it's for reserve components only
How long your training in the National Guard depends on what your MOS (your job) is. The least technical jobs are shorter in length, while the more technical jobs are generally greater in length. If you want an estimate, you can expect training to be a minimum of 13 weeks, with some of the longer training to be over a year. Again, it all depends on how technical your MOS is.
9 weeks of Basic Training followed by 5 weeks of AIT Infantry School. This will be done simultaneously non-stop. So a total of 14 weeks all together.
