So I’ve been to MEPS 2 times already, once to swear in and the second to ship to basic.

You&#39;ll get your marching orders to AIT and will travel according to all instructions given.

Now, should you decide to switch branches ie from reserve to AD then you would return to MEPS again. Past that no. SSG Brian G.

I&#39;ve just never seen it happen. That would mean a recruiter got you a BCT class without a quick follow up AIT class. <br /><br />Did something happen at BCT, you got recycled, and fell out of the typical timing of classes?<br /><br />I encourage you to stay in shape. All your classmates that went to AIT right out of BCT are going to have that going for them. <br /><br />****<br />I wonder if you could pull off going to BLC without being MOSQ before AIT (it&#39;s much shorter than AIT, and depending on class dates. for AIT could work....). Then you could show up to AIT as a CPL. Now that would set you apart from your classmates. Otherwise you could meld in with all the other SPC&#39;s.
