Going to AIT at Fort Gordon. I am reclassing. What are the chances of me getting to live off post?

I just finished AIT PSG duty... So take all the comments and consider the source.

As a MOS-T you will have a lot more freedom than the IET soldiers. But if you are authorised to have your dependants accompany you depends on the length of the AIT.

If it's too short, I know a lot of my MOS-T soldiers would put their household goods in storage and have the family stay in a long-term hotel or apartment near the post.

Remember that your first priority is to reclassify and I saw a lot of soldiers get to wrapped up with family issues and fail the course. As much as it sucks, sometimes having them a little ways away let's you focus better. (Remember that you will have long weekends now and again they can come visit you, or that you can ask for a pass for and travel to them)

Depends on what MOS you are reclassing to and if you are married. My first MOS was 94F and I went to AIT there at Gordon. Because the course was longer than 6 months, it was considered a PCS. I moved my family to Augusta and only spent a few weeks in the barracks ( long enough to phase up). Once I had phased up, they allowed me to move out of the barracks. We had a few reclass soldiers in my class. Those that were unaccompanied/single stayed in the reclass barracks. Those that were married and moved their families were allowed to reside off post from the start (no phase up as a reclass).

SGT Benjamin Scoggins, Looks as though this is over a year old. How did it go? Did your Reclass go well? were you relegated to the barracks? Or are you married and the school was a year long?
