I am currently in High School and a member of the Army National Guard. Right now I am attending RSP drills until my ship date on June 3rd. I am nervous of course but mainly excited. I am just trying to get as many answers as I can before I ship.

You may be putting together PowerPoint slides and briefing intel to O5’s and up, so I suggest using spellcheck, check your grammar, and reread everything you write to check for correctness. As in, check for mistakes in the post you just made.

For AIT is it is important to stay on top of your homework. The DEFAC is right next to the barracks so that is convenient. Going to the field will very with what unit you are with. Being junior enlisted means you will most likely spend the bulk of your time doing different details. That's not just for 35F but that is for most if not all junior enlisted. Be prepared to give briefs and retain a plethora of information. Our job is to tie together information provided by the different intelligence jobs and present them. There's a lot more that we do but it is a good base line. In AIT when cochiese college comes around. I also recommend you take there offer. It puts you ahead of peers that don't.

I strongly recommend you look up ADP 2-0. It will be good to be ahead of the curve.

PFC (Join to see) - What does (P) stand for? I hope not Promotable. You are a PFC period. If you keep your nose clean, you will get the E4 rank either SPC/CPL. The only time there is a (P) is for E-5 and above and Officers 03 and above. As for Intel Specialist, PFC Thompson gave a good run down. Good luck and study hard.

SSG Brian MacBain - I am pretty sure RP does that automatically, not sure why.

Basic sucks, AIT sucks, they're designed to. The 35F10 course you'll be taking grades you to the highest standard. The instructors consist of civilian analysts and 35F NCO's the first month or two will have a lot of homework, yes. Just do it. You don't want to be there any longer than you have to your typical day will be early morning PT, then you'll go to chow. Once you go to the DFac you have a certain time you'll have to form up which is when you'll go to class. Best advice for Huachuca is do your best to maintain yourself(haircuts, uniforms etc) your work and your PT. Unless somethings changed the barracks have gyms inside. they were never great, but something. And there should be a PT field you can go utilize. And get out of the barracks on weekends. There's trails, movies. And when you get the ability to go off post you can go shopping. Just dont buy too much. Remember you have to travel with everything.
