To the best of my abilities I have asked around even through my chain of command and yet to have gotten a direct answer. I'm in AIT and am wondering how does one earn a slot into jungle school and what's the best way to prep for it?

Not sure if it's the same now, but back in the day, Jungle School was a unit school. Not sure if there were rotations for individuals or not.

Hmm because back when I went through MI training I saw in Army Times that they re-opened the school so if it is a unit like you stated then I will have to find another route but if it has changed then my search continues. I do appreciate it though SGT!

Yes, they did re-open it. It's in Hawaii now instead of Panama. I don't know whether the format is the same or not.

Can you get orders for Hawaii? Like any organization, the Army wants to save money.You can also get Air Assault school. Plus.............it's Hawaii. Let me know when you get set up and we'll drop in and say hi.

The Jungle Expert tab is authorized for wear, but only Panama and Hawaii (maybe something has changed recently)

I have a buddy thats there now.. He is stationed in Korea... Not sure if that had something to do with it or not... However you can always submit a 4187 and request it (Soldier Action Form)

From the JOTC site:
The course is broken down into three phases. Phase I is jungle skills training that includes land navigation, survival skills, waterborne operations, rope assisted movements, jungle communication techniques, insertion/extraction techniques, and survival techniques. Each of these classes are taught in the jungle while platoons hone their patrol base activities. Both resiliency training and performance enhancement from the Comprehensive Soldier and Family Fitness Program is embedded early on, and Soldiers begin practical application in this phase. This is a key to preparing for three rigorous weeks of field training without the luxuries of garrison life (no cell coverage either!).
Phase II is the squad/platoon situational training exercise (STX) module that consists of STX lanes for various combat patrols, close-quarter marksmanship, point-man and cover-man live-fire exercise (LFX), squad react-to-contact LFX, and platoon LFX ambush. It is here where Soldiers begin to practice the methods learned in Phase I in a tactical environment. Soldiers change from their ACUs into BDUs and add camouflage to themselves and equipment. This phase also includes the clearing and establishment of an artillery fire base and the conduct of multiple air assault “gun raids” where guns are sling loaded into remote enemy territory to provide fire support for short-duration missions.
Phase III is the culmination company-level FTX that includes hasty attacks, ambushes, a raid, and multiple air assaults. Throughout all phases, the battalion task force provides the overall mission command from their tactical operations center (TOC) in the field. The division CRF-5 battalion (support cycle) provides the backside support and opposing forces for both Phase II and III.
The BCT’s combat enablers also learn how to adapt to the environment to provide critical support. FSCs are forced to be innovative in their sustainment techniques using low cost low altitude (LCLA) air drops, “speed ball” resupply (free drop), door- kicker bundles, and bulk water purification. At the completion of the course, Soldiers will earn the coveted jungle expert tab authorized for wear while assigned in the Pacific theater.
