I will be shipping this Feb 18 to BCT to ft Lwood, I’ll also have my AIT there right after. I’m currently doing my Master’s Degree online. I took the spring semester off (because of BCT). I was told that I need to enroll for summer semester. Which after counting the weeks it’ll be right around when I’m doing my AIT. I was just wondering if I can have my mom bring my laptop after BCT, so I can continue my course for the summer semester.

I wouldn’t recommend trying to take college classes while in training. From the Army prospective Until you are MOS Qualified, your priority will be the Army. Typically the will not make adjustments to accommodate an online class because they are paying you to receive training in a specific MOS to serve as a Soldier, everything else is secondary. If you have to go to the field, they will not make adjustments, if lights out is at 2100, they will not make adjustments. They want you to be fully functional to receive the training they are paying for you to complete.
Once you’re done with AIT, you’ll have more flexibility that’s not structured like training. Don’t put yourself in a position which could lead to you not completing your course and having to pay for it later.

Although my AIT ay Fort “Lost in the Woods” was eons ago (1990), I still think college and initial training are a recipe for disaster. I could be wrong.

Thank you so much. I will ask the university if I can have the summer semester off too.

Depends on the cadre. Usually students are allowed electronics at AIT. I don’t see why it would be an issue, but I would reconsider taking courses during AIT. That’s a huge commitment and it’s not likely you’ll have the time to do those classes. The environment is still pretty controlled. Best of luck.

Thank you so much. I didn’t want to but the university allowed to take the spring off but they told me to enroll this summer. I’ll try and ask them if I can just continue on fall.

SPC (Join to see) as long as you’re on orders your school should be willing to work with you. Contact a veterans service representative from your university. Look up “Veteran Affairs” on their website
