I went through 31b training in the OSUT (one stop unit training) program. AIT was 10 weeks.

I know your are reservist, but are you freaking high? You are in training for your damn MOS, fail it and you will be a grunt in a leg unit in Limbo! Blast it is NOT a 9-5 job, that you can leave at 5pm for the bar or home!

PFC, just a suggestion, maybe work on that attitude some, last time I checked SGM was above PFC; the correct response is either nothing or thank you, SGM... It is likely you will get a few short post passes, but I wouldn't count on leaving post over night. A lot of the 31b job is field related now, so training days could run late. You might luck out on the weekends with passes.

SFC Kelly Fuerhoff I can agree on that... however, even after you retire, I would still refer to you as SFC. To me that rank has been earned by hard work, dedication and results. I guess that's the old guy in me...lol

SFC Kelly Fuerhoff - Fair enough, and I would think that if you ask someone not to refer to you by your rank, after retirement, they should honor that. I guess it comes down to the individual. I can certainly see your point of view. I know outside of drill, I tell my guys to just call me Wagner. I also agree about some people not deserving respect on RP... I know I have tested the waters a few times and been an ass once or twice ... LOL

You don't like my answer kid, you don't have to take., But you asked a question in this open forum and I answered. No it was not PC because I am not PC, I am a retired Abn Grunt in units that didn't allow many whinners, nor slackers cause we couldn't afford to lug them around. Just look at your question and see what it sounds like to a career soldier. I'm going to AIT to learn a new job, and my home is 30 minutes away. Can I go home at night, please? I had never heard of such BS in my entire career!. You fail the course and you are dead in the water, no (P) no high-speed job, etc. A good way to fail is not being on time, in formation, etc., And they do not have to give you ANY 2nd chances. Bet you damn well, that if they were home was just outside the gate, they wouldn't let them go home.
