AIT ins-and-outs for families

This is a continuation of my post where I address a few key items that some new military families may have. These are all from an Army perspective, so if you need more branch specific information I always suggest contacting your soldier’s recruiter or a local recruiter. They are usually a good source of information and they are good resource brokers!

AIT stands for Advanced Individual Training and it’s training that is specific to your soldier’s Military Occupation Specialty (MOS). All soldiers go through Basic Combat Training. Even if they have a job that is not combat related they must go through a basic level of training for obvious purposes. After BCT your soldier will go on to AIT. I believe in most instances this usually happens immediately following BCT.

Some MOS’s will have a joint BCT/AIT. Infantry, for example, offers this combination. When BCT ends the Company may offer a family day where you can visit with your soldier over a weekend. He may or may not be allowed to leave base or get an overnight pass. It all depends on the chain of command and any restrictions put on your soldier for various reasons. This will not be his graduation. When BCT and AIT are combined the graduation happens at the very end of the AIT cycle.

The time spent in AIT is dependent on the MOS. Listed below are the various AIT schools. Spouses may or may not PCS with their sodlier to AIT depending on his orders. If he will be at the station for more than 20-weeks then you qualify for PCS unless there is an exception for another reason (and if you are new to the Army you need to know one thing… never count on anything until it’s in your hand and you have a death grip on it… and even then it will more than likely change.)
