What happens in between basic and AIT, given that I will have almost 2 months in between? Will I be a holdover at basic?

Tim Scheible - Excellent attitude. So I'll go a little more into depth. I don't know where you will end up physically, but a young PVT waiting for a school is going to find himself sweeping shit. Cleaning shit. Helping people PCS. Any number of things that are busy work. How do I know this? When I graduated boot, I went home on leave and got sick with Mono. Lost my school slot. Wound up waiting a month for another. During that time I was basically a glorified janitor. Nothing wrong with that - you still get paid, and owe Uncle Sam his due. So while I was being a little flippant, I was also serious. Young SM's waiting for transfers are generally put to work. Somehow. Now, that said, I'll repeat: good attitude. Thank you for choosing to serve. That puts you a step above your peers.

Or a lawn mower, pruning shears os snow shovel. Oh, i almost forgot teever pouar KP

SN Greg Wright cool thanks for the info, I'm getting paid so I don't get why people wouldn't have a good attitude

SFC Mary Patterson doesn't change much lol, I'm a landscaper and forester by trade so lawnmower/weedwacker me up and hand me a chainsaw

Thanks

Thanks that helps

You will be on CQ every other day. Enjoy.

A private on CQ, what is this army coming to.

SP5 Peter Keane I was thinking the same thing. Can't imagine an E1 on CQ. It's a way different Army today.
