ADVANCED INDIVIDUAL TRAINING
LEARN YOUR JOB
Advanced Individual Training (AIT) is where you will learn the specific job skills for the Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) you selected. Where you go for AIT, and how long the course is, depends on the MOS you sign up for. Typically AIT is 7-13 weeks long, although some highly skilled specialties last as long as 62 weeks. The instructors at AIT will teach you the technical skills that you will be applying in your assigned unit, using both classroom instruction and hands-on training.
DO YOUR JOB
Once you have completed AIT you will arrive to your unit a fully trained Soldier. You will continue to train in your chosen field and on the basic soldier task taught during your initial training. You will work side-by-side with experienced Soldiers who will help develop your technical and tactical skills.

About Advanced Individual Training
Once you’ve decided to join the Guard, passed the eligibility requirements and taken the oath, the next step on your journey from civilian to Soldier is Basic Combat Traning (BCT). While Physical fitness training is a big part of it, BCT is not all about push-ups and sit-ups. You’ll also learn the benefits of discipline in all you do. You’ll learn core Army Values, along with critical combat and occupational skills. You’ll learn to depend on your fellow Soldiers. You’ll earn their trust as well.
