How long was your AIT?

Favorite Answer

I went through OSUT as well; MOS, 19K, Abrams tank crewman. 16 weeks at Ft. Knox. All 3 phases were very hardcore, probably more so because we lived in the same building as a company of Marines who were also training to be tankers, although on M60 tanks, the Abrams predecessor. These days both Soldier and Marine tankers use the Abrams tank, Soldiers have the M1A2 and Marines the M1A1;(might be A3 and A2 at this point, I'll have to look into it). I can speak in regard to Soldier vs. Marine tanker training, there was always competition, whether mentally or physically, neither one can claim superiority over the other. Of course, during our time at Ft. Knox each believed to be superior over the other.(Some of us have the scars to prove it) LOL. Once a soldier, always a soldier! WHOAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How 'bout u? MOS? Where did u train? Are u still in? Where are or have u been stationed? What unit(s) have u been in? What do think about the military lifestyle? I miss it very much. If u want, I can get more detailed with my Army experience. Freedom ain't free brother! 3rd ID and 3rd Armored Calvary Reg. Former Sgt./E-5, 19K20 M1A1 tank gunner....Show more

25S. Back in the day when I went through it was 10 months. It's 6.5 months now. It was like an orgy in the local hotels, just like any other Army school. Some things never change....Show more
