How long is training for 31B?

The Army website states that it is 10 weeks of BCT followed by 20 weeks of OSUT, I previously thought it was just 20 weeks of OSUT, did this change recently?

Aaron Steele I see where you came up with the 20 weeks total, but the Army website has 30 weeks total. Call the Army Recruiter on Monday and ask this question to receive the correct answer.

The Army website is actually mixing terms incorrectly. One Station Unit Training (OSUT) combines BCT and AIT at one location, so you won't be transferring from a basic training unit to an AIT unit.

You'll do 30 weeks total - 10 weeks of BCT followed by 20 weeks of AIT*.
