That would be Ft. Benning, Georgia. One question to you. Why do you want to go 11B?

After reading your question again, something just ain't right. If you are reenlisting, why are you talking to a recruiter, and why are you going through MEPS? Those are for brand new troops, not a reenlistment.

You need to find a new recruiter. Any real recruiter should be able to answer that question instantly. Plus, even if they couldn't answer it, their job is to quickly get you that answer. That should take them no longer than 2 seconds.

Are you re-enlisting or enlisting? Your profile has a MOS so what is it?

Also, if your recruiter has no idea taje the School pf Infantry is at Ft. Benning, then he might not be the brightest crayon in the box. Something to think about.

The 11 Series is not an occupation that you just want to arbitrarily toss you hat into the ring and see if you can box without putting some forethought into. If spending a lot of
your time in garrison training in the field, doing
ruck marches with heavy weight, having a pretentious team leader always in your business because nothing you ever do seems to be right sounds up your alley; then the Infantry is for you.

Infantry OSUT is done at 198TH Infantry Brigade Fort Benning, GA and is done in a 22 week training cycle. The two current Gender Integrated training Battalions are 1/19 IN and 2/58 IN.

I think you should honestly choose a different career field in general. If you are in fact a veteran, you were clearly discharged prior to tour contract being complete, so why were you discharged as an E3.

You seem incompetent and your question is leading us to other questions. I would not want you in my squad if you can’t do a simple google search.

Your recruiter doesn't know that the Infantry are trained at Fort Benning??? That's like a baker not knowing that flour goes into a cake.

It's irrelevant what base you train at. You won't see any of it other than barracks and woods, and your friends and family won't be coming to visit other than your graduation. The only thing that really matters is which base you go to after, and that you start doing PT now to stay ahead of your peers. The infantry is very physically demanding and more than any other job you are judged on your ability to carry a ruck, run, and do PT.

Everyone in the Army knows where the Infantry Train. Come on!!!Plus anyone that has been in the Army before knows that it is an Army POST not a base. Are you for real?

Strange, I though everyone in the army knew Benning is for infantry, Sill is for artillery, Benning now is also for armour, and Leonardwood is for MP and combat engineers. All the non combat MOS's are usually done at Jackson.

Ah, the good ol' Sand Hill School For Wayward Boys or I guess now it's the Sandhill School for Wayward Girls & Boys.

Strange how as much as I hated it at the time, I find myself nostalgic for it today. C'mon, would someone please slap me back to reality?!
