That is just the replacement company at Carson. You go there to sign in from leave and do some in proccessing before they send you to your actual unit. Carson is higher in elevation so don’t kick yourself if you notice you run slower at first. Enjoy the area.

SGT Tristan Izzard - That's the difference. One the real unit is assigned, then a sponsor should be assigned and in contact.

PVT (Join to see) no way to tell unless you are the G1 strength manager. Strength management is left to installations, especially for 10 level soldiers. As for adjusting to altitude, stay in shape enroute. Replacement will PT you until assigned.

SGT Tristan Izzard she should have a sponsor but IET soldiers are hit or miss. Also, G1 May reassign to manage strength. SM will get a new sponsor on the ground. They were meeting them by mid week of inprocessing at Carson

SGT Tristan Izzard Most of the people I graduated with had sponsors and knew their gaining unit 2 to 3 weeks before graduation, but a few of us didnt. Our DS said it was because our gaining unit just didnt fill out the paperwork.out Out of around 170 of us only 4 of us didnt have our sponsorships done.

Anyone who has MOS 12B. Plus if you are mechanized. If you for get to put on your ear plugs, or your ears get plug up, while on the rifle range, handgrenade range, or just ears hurt for any reason. Go on sick call. Get a copy of all med records for your self. Yes you to drill sergeant. You will never get VA compensation disability benefits without showing you had hearing problems to include tinnitus. While in the service. Does not matter what service you enlisted for. Lowest rating starts 10%. In 74 now, & VA said I must show I went to a military dr. For hearing problems. In currently at 60% now.So they won't give any higher rating or add tinnitus because I have no medical records for 20 service. I was Army 1966-1986. Retired. Vietnam 12 B, 66-67, Drill Sergeant 6yrs, 12B basic & OSHIT. Then Army Recruiter 78-82 max, fl. Then Army Guidance Counselor MEPS 84-86. Never went on sickcall. Because I had to go to the dispensary with trainees. I went to a civilian dr. Keep your records. No matter how small.

Outstanding! Welcome to being a 12B. Loved every picket-pounding minute of it!
(That's a lie, the picket-pounding sucked.)

I'm pretty sure that as a 12B you'll be going to 4th Engineer Battalion. I dont think 52nd has Bravos.

So you have to be assigned to the replacement company before you get your specific orders. Sometimes you get them right away (I had my BN on my orders out of AIT) sometimes you find out when you go to replacement.
