I just started AIT for 36b. We officially start AIT classes June 11. On my orders it says the start date is June 8 and that training is 8 weeks 3 days. However, when we were briefed we were told our graduation date is Aug 21 but according to orders will be Aug 6. Also, another company who is 42A and has longer AIT has the same graduation date. This is only a concern because my school starts Aug 17.

PFC,

Your only concern should be passing the course. Things are always changing in the Army, and in our current training environment with COVID-19 scheduling even the most routine tasks are tentative. You'll learn very quickly that adaptability/flexibility is a core skill to being a soldier. Learn your MOS, graduate, and be successful. This "hiccup" is merely the first of possibly hundreds over the course of a 20 year career.

Best of luck to you.

I don't understand what your exact concern is here. Are you concerned the date will negatively affect your career?

In all due likelihood, you will likely end up forcibly reclassed to a new MOS in a few years as the 36B MOS is in a slow phase out sequence since a lot of it is now handled by civilians.

I guess I am wondering if I will need to inform my college I will be a few days late or if the brief could be off.
I do plan on reclassing to combat engineer once i am out of college.
