How long does Basic and AIT last for reserve 37F?

The recruiter I am talking to doesn't really have a straight answer regarding that and I've seen a lot of different answers. Does reserve 37F still go through the selection pipeline and the MP OSUT training? I've seen that AIT can last 14 weeks but apparently active duty training lasts 4-6 months plus OSUT MP training. I'm just a little confused and would appriciate a little insight.

For a 37F in the Reserves, Basic and AIT lasts roughly 20 weeks total. Reservists do not go through the pipeline or MP OSUT either. When I went through, AIT was at Fort Bragg, but information that I have gathered since then has told me that AIT will be moved to Fort Jackson.

Unless they changed it coming straight in your Basic and AIT should be the same as active, they only time I have ever seen a reservist not go to active AIT's was for reclass.

Reserve CA and PSYOP are taught AIT through the Special Warfare Center and School, but in different companies than the Active counterparts. Reserve has no jump school, no Selection, no MP OSUT, no SOLT, no Unconventional Field Exercise at the end, no SOF Skills portion. It is just the MOS part.
