Asking because my AIT training is 5 months. An associates is a 2 year degree. Would it be best to wait until after it’s completed to earn my associates or is it okay to do it while in AIT?

Your number one priority during AIT is to become technically proficient in your MOS. At most, I’d recommend work towards maxing your correspondence courses. Otherwise just focus on learning you job, you’ll have plenty of time at your first duty station and the rest of your career to take care of college.

Additionally, benefits like TA can not be used until you get to your first duty station. So even if you were to attempt to do college courses while in AIT, it would be out of pocket.
