What kind of privileges do you get in AIT in Ft Sam Houston?

SSG Vasquez is correct after you NREMT and APFT you get to wear your class B off post. But to be honest you should probably study. Whiskey phase is no joke

I attended both as you will. You won’t see much of fort sill to be honest, other than family day or graduation. You will be strictly kept in the reception area until shipping off to your battery for bct. At that point you will only see most of the training areas and your barracks. You will likely get phone privileges on Sundays after red cycle from what I remember. Other than that don’t expect to do anything other than what the DS’s tell you to do.

Fort Sam on the other hand, should allow you to leave post once done with nremt. You will have your phone, with the exception of during class/training. I’m sure a lot has changed and from what I’ve heard you might have to wear class b uniform when going off post, but it’s a privilege none the less. It’s still very much training and wouldn’t be worried about privelages too much, focus on learning and absorbing as much information as possible. Good luck.

I went to ft sill for basic and phone privileges will vary based on the battery (company) you are assigned to. some get it every Sunday others get it once a phase. You will only see the rest of the post on family day. You will hear a lot about the king of battle and will hear artillery. At AIT you will have any electronic you want in your room. the beginning half will suck because it is death by PowerPoint everyday and even on the weekends you can't wear civis and go where you want. After you pass the NREMT you can go anywhere on post in civis and can go anywhere off post in uniform. I always went off post in regular clothes because I could take off my pt belt and throw it in a backpack and I would blend in with everyone else. I would suggest waiting a week or 2 after getting your privilege to do that because your sergeants will most likely be at the gates the first weekend to catch people trying to do that. whiskey phase is more fun because it is hands on training everyday with significantly less time in the class room. also in the evenings you can go to dinner by yourself instead of marching to chow in the evening, but that might have changed since I graduated because almost everyone ate fast food instead
