Does The Army base your Basic Combat Traing Location On Your Current Location Or Your Future MOS?

It depends on your MOS and on availability...

Infantry (Basic and AIT Together) or Male: Ft Benning, GA if you are not Infantry you go to a different Basic than the Infantrymen

Artillery (Basic and AIT Together) or Male: Ft Sill, OK Artillery Soldiers together...

Armor (Basic and AIT Together) or Male: Ft Knox, KY for now until 2010 Armor Soldiers together

FT Jackson, SC...Support Troops and Females

Ft Leonard Wood, MO: Engineer, MP, Chemical (Basic and AIT together), Support Troops and Females...

I went to FT Dix, NJ, but they closed BCT there down in 92...AIT FT Sam Houston, TX

EDIT: You will probably go to FT Jackson, SC because it is closer to your AIT at FT Lee...but being a male you could go anywhere where their is a slot open..

Ok...here it goes- you are going to be a cook (food specialist). I think your MOS (job) training will be conducted at Fort Lee, VA. I think- not really sure about that one.

However, your Basic Training can be anywhere. It depends on the day you join and the day the Army has you schedule to begin training and what Basic Training Post has a vacancy at that time.

As for Infantry training, it is ONLY done at Fort Benning, GA (Columbus). Usually, trainees going through Infantry training will do basic and AIT all at Fort Benning, GA. In either event, the Army's Infantry School is at Fort Benning, GA

N O, you will go to the nearest Basic Combat Training Post that is open, because the Posts work on cycles and whichever cycle is open, that will be where you will go. The MOS that you have or will have is good, but you can be stationed anywhere in the world! Good Luck on Your U S Army experience. The MOS makes a very good career possibility for you.

A lot of soldiers who are not attending a One Station Unit Training will go to a basic training at one location and then go to their MOS school. For transportation and quartermaster you would go to FT Jackson for AIT but might do BT at Ft Sill, Ft Benning, Ft Leonard Wood. Some AIT bases have no basic training facilities like Ft Bragg and Ft Wachuka.

I'm pretty sure its based on your MOS. I know infantry goes Benning in Georgia, for example. That has nothing to do with where you'll be stationed after AIT however.

it all depends on what your job is because thats where they have the schools, u will go to your basic probably at some station that just does basic then you will go to i believe fort jackson to do your food stuff... i know every mp has to go to fort leonardwod for training

It is based on where you train for your MOS... Each site is setup specialized for your MOS training... Nothing to do with LOCAL locations...

It's on your MOS. Infantry goes through Ft. Benning. My MOS was 88N (Transportation) and I went to Ft. Jackson.

First, they will base you wherever there is a slot, but it will probably be Fort Jackson, SC since your school is there.

I don't know about your case, but my friend enlisted and in the Infantry now, but his basic was in Georgia (he's from CT). So I think you could end up anywhere...
