Reclassing to 35G. What can I expect as prior service for AIT? Do they have weekends off and would they care if I stay in an apt off post?

If you have dependents with you and (put on your orders) it should not be a problem for you to get approval to live out of the barracks. Yes, you will have weekends and training holidays. Just depends if you have cq/staff duty. I don't remember seeing MOS-Ts on staff duty. I am trying to think of a good number for you to call, but I would look up A Co 305 at ft Wegotcha for the S1 or staff duty number. You won't have homework for the most part!

I’m currently in AIT here as a 35G. As a MOS-T with dependents you should be getting BAH and allowed to live off post. Most of the MOS-T’s have an apt off post if their dependents are with them. I’m not sure about your formation times but you will not be with IET soldiers ever, only when you’re in class and for some pt formations, other than that you’re pretty much free and treated like permanent party because the course is 6 months.

Expect to attend formations and pt with the rest of the AIT soldiers. When I first got there, that wasn't a thing except for run day....then after change of command it became a thing. When I was there you guys didn't't have to have a battle buddy everywhere you went. It's much easier to get with the instructor before or after class if you need extra help.... nearly impossible for AIT soldiers, though a couple really would do the extra mile or two for us. The course is not terribly hard, but easy to mess up. You won't be under an AIT squad leader in class... just under the senior MOS-T. Sometimes NCO MOS-Ts have to lead the formations during lunchtime. Defac wasn't too bad. I was one of the last AIT soldiers that was allowed to shop at the commissary and order food during the week. I don't know if that stuff applies to MOS-Ts, I kinda doubt it.
