MOS is Military Occupational Speciality, and I believe the T is an indication that the service member is still in training, as opposed to MOSQ, which indicates that they are qualified in their MOS (i.e., have completed training in their career field).

AIT
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.
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.
In AIT you'll probably only use iron sights, which you need to get the hang of before you move to reflex sights and optics.
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?
EVERY occupation in the Army requires you go through AIT for that occupational specialty.
Depends. Automatic promotion is six months in service, if I remember correctly, so if your AIT takes you past that point, you'll be promoted during your AIT. If you have less than six months in at the end of your AIT, your instructors may decide to promote you meritoriously if they feel you've earned it.
The most common US Army medal received is the Army Commendation Medal. It is awarded for commendable service or achievement in non-combat situations and is often given for acts of bravery, meritorious service, or outstanding achievement.
"Ait" in French is the third person singular conjugation of the verb "avoir," which means "to have." It is used in certain tenses such as the passé composé.
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.
You can split it into two parts, BCT and AIT, it's for reserve components only
