What is 91b ait like for prior service, I am in my last year of IRR and considering going into the reserves and reclassing to 91b from a 13b, looking on some info to see what coming back in after a 4 year break will be like? do prior service get a shorter ait or are they in for the full course with IET, and are there other training locations for this mos besides ft lee, my recruiter informed me there are other trainings closer to me but if anyone could verify. Thanks

That would depend, some MOS's you can re-class into have Reserve schools, same POI but with longer days and weekends, but there are a few MOS's that you have to go to the regular AIT. Some Reserve schools may have phases, like my 92L had phase one 15 days and phase 2 14 days. I just took both phases back to back. Others took phase 1 left and would take phase 2 at a later date.

Some reserve units will send soldiers to national guard training site for reclass. There are 3 RTSM (regional training site maintenance) locations that I am aware of that offer a 6 week 91b reclass course broken down into 2 phases, both 3 weeks. They are Salina KS, ft Stewart GA and ft Bragg NC. I went to the 91E course at RTSM at ft Stewart and there were reserve soldiers in my class as well as the bravo class. Check with your unit and try to do both phases back to back rather than one phase now and another later, you will not be MOS qualified until you successfully complete both phases.

Sorry CPL, 91B use to be the "Combat Medic", now its changed to the 68W....which can have insurmountable of ASI's attached to it. But even some of the ASI's even became their own MOS.

As far as prior service receiving shorter AIT's or ASI's, no.....but your separated from the young ones so as not to corrupt. Your held to a higher standard. But why not?
God bless and good luck
