What should I look forward to when Reclass to 88m?

2020-10-02T08:27:08-04:00

I am Med-reclassing to 88m, my report date is 20201120. What do I have to look forward to besides being cold? How does is work when going to AIT? How is the life as a 88m? I also checked ATRRS and didn’t see a packing list should I contact the school house? If anyone has any insight and would like to guide me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. I just want to make sure I’m successful.

SGT Private RallyPoint Member I am assuming you will be going to Ft. Lee. That's were I did my 88N reclass. Packing list can be found on ATRRS, when looking up the school and you click on the class it's that big long list that incorporates all 88 series Reclass, ALC, etc.... But the school house should send out a welcome packet probably about a week or two before class. Have they mentioned a quarantine to you? That's what happened to my class. Added an extra 14 days to just sitting there.

Life as an 88M? My nephew was an 88M at FT Sill, bored out of his skull. Sat around the motor pool all day doing PMCS and occasionally got tasked to drive a vehicle out to one of the ranges.

When I went through 88m AIT about 7 years ago the reclass students sat in the back when we had class and just did all exams with us but other than in the classroom or practical exercises never saw them.

You haven't said where your going for reclassification training, I was at FLW for AIT and we only had 2 going thru for reclassification,they did the same things that we did.
