What should someone take to AIT if they are transitioning from NG to AD and will be reclassifying?

I have re enlisted into the Active duty army on a conditional release from the army national guard. prior 11b, now reclassing to 88m, what do I take to AIT? Do I take all my uniforms and duffel bags or do I show up with nothing and get everything issued again?

What has your recruiter told you? they would be the first person to contact before you contact the school house.

You'll be required to bring what the other basic trainees are bringing, which is your initial issue clothing bag.

All of your uniforms (unless you bought them yourself) are the property of your Guard Unit's state command. If they didn't ask for them back, take them with you. But you will be issued a whole new set when you report for in-processing.

I went in the other direction: Active Duty 11B to Reserve 88M 29 day reclass (not AIT), and my new unit's training NCOIC gave me the packing list, and it was pretty much everything: TA-50, civies, 4 sets uniform, toiletries, etc.

Seems odd no one got you the packing list yet, but maybe that's because our reclass experiences are different.

Good luck!

Travel light: A couple of uniforms, a pair of boots that still look good but are broken in, laptop, cell phone, padlock, and ASUs if you have them. Should all fit in a duffle. Best of Luck!

I’d hit up the school house or ATTRS for information. Good luck boss on your journeys.

you should be taking your uniforms that you got issued. Also your recruiter should inform you of what you need to have.
