I am currently a 27D. The most important thing that they teach you in AIT is attention to detail. It is very important to get critical information correct. Like the LT said below need to make sure that you check the SPEC the wrong Spec means the wrong charge which is considered a critical error worth 31 points. SSN, name, and offense dates are also critical errors. As an NCO you will be expected to learn more but the good thing about the job is that it never quits. Most of your experience will be in the military justice section. In our MOS you can be tasked or assigned to do multiple jobs not just military justice. Some of the jobs are legal assistance, Trial Defense Services, Claims, Foreign Claims, Operational Law, Detainee Ops, Administrative Law, Contracts, MEB paralegal. You have to take it slow and make sure that if you need it ask for help. Two of my battles are instructors right now and they are good people SSG AD and SSG Graves. The regulation is your friend and you just have to read it. Researching is a critical tool that we use everyday so make sure you can think outside the box. if you have any further questions just shoot me a PM not on here very much

SGT Jon Conover, I was a 27D before I commissioned, but I went AIT almost 10 years ago. Biggest thing with AIT, make sure you study the specification when you get to the Article 15s and Courts-Martial. You miss place a comma or put the wrong word in somewhere, you fail the test, -31 points. It's still the same for my understanding. And Fort Lee, if you've never been here, Richmond is a nice area, get out and enjoy it.

Make sure you know the NCO creed and try to do OJT before you re-class. I was a re-class as well and being an NCO you will be expected to know your crap when you get assigned to your new position. Most commands will not know that you just re-classed.I hope you get an awesome NCO to work for/with. Good luck.
