I am soon leaving for AIT. I reclassed from 11B to 25U and is headed to Fort Carson. For any 25 series personnel could you tell me what to expect? What's life like as a 25U? Will I earn certifications such as CCNA or Network+ etc.? Overall will I have a good job coming out of the army with this MOS change. Thank you everyone in advance for the comments.
25U: Signal Support Systems Specialist

Look at AR 600-25 first making your career progression priority then your certifications are based off of what you put into it. There are vouchers available for all MOS.

You will not get any certifications in AIT but it is an incredibly valuable experience. You will learn a lot about communications and technology that will help you on the civil side but ultimately I found that the greatest skill you learn in the critical problem solving skills. You learn how to disassemble issues and look for solutions whether great or small. It teaches you how to think outside the box and consider many solutions to the same problem. That was the greatest lesson I took from AIT. Never assume you know everything and be willing to think on your feet and pursue not just a solution but the best solution. It's a great MOS and it teaches you several skills that will help you civvie side and not all of them are going to be technology based.

I appreciate it. I've been a RTO and worked in the commo cage for some time now, worked on HF Comms and a lot of different radios like the prc-148, prc-154's etc so I'm just wondering will this MOS teach something I may not know.
