If you're going to Fort Lee for AIT, have fun.Weekly Question Thread Recruiter Thread Welcome to /r/army Unless you're a PT stud who can get 300s in each event without trying, you WILL struggle to pass the PT test in AIT if you do not do your own workouts. The shit you do in the mornings is nothing. 5.56x45 has barely any recoil.įor AIT: do your own PT. And dont flinch because thatll throw off your shot. At the end of your exhale, when you're nice and steady, pull the trigger slowly and carefully.

Before you take your shot, take a deep breath, aim at your target, and exhale slowly. Dont hold it against them, you're only with them for 10 weeks, and the assholes will get theirs in due time. There will be people in your barracks who either cant, or refuse, to do the right thing. Just pay close attention to what you're told to do, and do exactly that. If they dont recognize you during graduation, then you did good. If your battle buddies are reliable, theyll wake you and give you time to act natural before the drills see you.ĭont try to impress the drill sergeants. They're your 'clean up and get squared' days. If you're quizzed on it in the DFAC line, you'll be ready, and those 10 people who went before you could mean the difference between snagging peanut butter, and not getting it.ĭont sleep on Sundays in BCT. Learn your chain of command, and your Soldiers Creed and Values. The only tips I can give you for BCT and AIT are in my first comment but I'll reiterate. I was the distinguished honor grad for my cycle, I grasped stuff pretty well. If they let you keep your phones and stuff during AIT, you can DM me or message me if you need help during classes. Unless they changed it, AIT PT is nothing. The first week, you'll be like a dog with its leash removed, and the owner walking away.īut the hardest part is maintaining PT.

You're given a huuuge amount of freedom compared to BCT. If a drill sergeant doesnt know who you are when your cycle is done, you did good.ĪIT will be harder, but not in the way youd expect. The drill sergeants will not be impressed by anything you do unless you totally fuck up or are prior service. Basic training is easy, just pay attention to detail, do exactly as you're told, and dont let yourself stand out. Lifetime SPCs arent always that way out of laziness, it's more often than not because there is no space for additional E5s in their unit. But generally during drill, you'll PMCS and maintain generators. My unit has all new generators so they're just cross training me on commos and trucks. With most things, it depends on your unit.
