Does anyone have information on the 29E/17E Electronic Warfare Specialist AIT at Ft.Gordon?

HRC has approved my reclass request to Electronic Warfare Specialist 17E(formerly 29E). Instead of the 9 week course at Ft.Sill, I'm slotted for the AUG2019-MAR2020 8 month course at Ft.Gordon requiring a PCS move. Just wondering if anyone can shed some light/wisdom on the alternative class format

I don't mean to give you the runaround but see your BDE or BN EW NCO. They should give you the gist of everything. I would ask my buddy but he's on a retreat now.

I just got approved too, I was slotted for FT.sill for OCT2019 but then it got cancelled due to change of location to FT Gordon. I haven't got a school date from my schools NCO yet. 9 weeks to 8 months WOW!!! If i hear anything i'll hit you up... Did your schools NCO give you a School Date or did you get it by Email??

Something is right about this. The course length shouldn’t be that long. I’ll give you an answer tomorrow. I’m a BDE EW NCO.

Did you hear anything from your NCO yet regarding your reclass? I am in the process of reclassing and instead of the 9 week course it changed to an 8 month training. Sept 2019 is my target date and it is also in Ft. Gordon. My retention officer did not mention anything about a PCS move. Any information you have will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

SPC Private RallyPoint Member Did you end up doing the 8 month course or the 9 week?

My son enlisted and is graduating bct next week. He will be going to ft gordon 17 echo. 8 months is a long time. He signed a 6 year active duty contract I hope we don't regret it. Dies anybody know the duty station he could be sent to with that MOS?
