I'm trying to get 91b with an airborne option but would like to know what are the chances of airborne/ranger recruiters coming to your ait? What's ait like?

You can have your recruiter put it into your contract. You would go to basic, ait, then airborne, and then duty station. If you fail airborne then you become needs of the Army that means wherever you were promised is probably going to change.

AIT as a 91B is pretty easy, you do PT, you go to chow, you go to school, you go to chow, you go back to school, you go back to chow, you do whatever the task of the night is or you have free time and then you repeat. Weekends off eventually.

School house itself is general mechnical theory courses, break down component of engines, brakes, transmission, trouble shoot, hydraulic systems, etc.

Pretty good as the Army is currently needing 91B’s (SL1) to be in ABN position per the latest bonus messages, but this is obviously for those that are currently serving. But your chances are higher than not.

The first day of in-processing at Ft. Gordon AIT, our Ranger liaison came and talked to everyone who was eligible and offered us a chance to volunteer for Airborne and Rangers. He also gave us a few weeks to make up our minds and still apply. I can't speak for other AITs, but I know that we were given every opportunity to volunteer.

As for AIT, again I can't speak for everyone, but my experience so far at Ft. Gordon has been great. As long as you're squared away and motivated, you can enjoy your time and learn a lot. The only soldiers I've heard of who hate AIT are the ones who want to hate AIT.
