91M AIT student wondering what privileges I can expect to have while going through AIT on Ft Benning. I understand it’s gonna be an open bay so I’m expecting zero privileges like BCT, there’s not a lot of info or discussion about this topic online

That will depend on how well you perform and the leaders over you.

PVT Titor,

LTC Tongret is correct, I feel, as well as many others within this conversation, regarding expected privileges. I have nothing to add to that, however, I feel I should very much channel a wise-man from my times in an Infantry line unit: don't have expectations.

Expectations are always a recipe for disaster. You're expecting something, when conditions on the ground likely have changed. Being adaptable to the situation, and pushing through the challenges you face (whatever those may be) prepare you mentally for any sort of situation that could arise. I would highly recommend walking in being ready for the minimum, most spartan of privileges, and being pleasantly surprised if you get more than that.

I completely appreciate that you are asking what may be available, and that your position is likely not one of having an expectation of privileges, but I felt the need to express this in the event I am wrong (my momma taught me about assuming) about your outlook.

Best.

I suggest you study the course work and give 110% during pt. In the future you will be allowed to go to the shoppette or main px. This depends on how your class acts in the bay ,at the school house, and anywhere in between.

Also, I suggest you take hotel8 (m88 recovery training) while you are at the school house. Trust me you will need it.
