As I am prior service going to AIT mid August, what is the barracks situation at right now? I heard that when I get there, I'll be quarantined for roughly 14 days. But once that is done, what are prior service barracks like? Am I to be living separately from the new soldiers? And what is the roommate situation currently like? With COVID going on, will I be roomed with someone else? Multiple roommates? I'm just curious.

It all depends on the cadre and the school. Most cases I've seen, the reclass trainees are housed separately from the "new" recruits. It all depends on space availability but every place I've been the reclass guys have 2 man rooms with a shared latrine between two rooms. Typically outside of class you are discouraged from interacting with the newbies as well. When I reclassed to 14T, we had our own separate schedule. We didn't have to attend formations or do PT with the first timers. Basically as long as we showed up to class on time we were left alone.

My current living situation here, I share a room with another SGT and people are no longer quarantined upon arriving here unless they are symptomatic. You will live separately from the IET Soldiers. What MOS are you coming here for?
