Does an E-5 who is reclassfying stay with the Privates or stay with the wife?

If the duration is less than 6 mos, it’s a TDY and you’ll be living in the barracks. Reclassing to 19D, you’re looking at 4 mos for the whole OSUT or 6-8 weeks for the AIT phase of the training.

Depending on when you get there and the number of reclasses, you may be mixed in with the IET soldiers or you may be segregated.

When I reclassed, I was provided w/ a permanent party barracks room; it was away from the IET barracks. As far as bringing your wife along, that will be highly unlikely. The school has to be a certain length to be considered a PCS move. I am not sure of how long it has to be, but I have read something along the lines of 20 weeks or longer.

When I went through AIT for 13F we had a prior service 13B E-4 which was in another wing separated from all trainees. Had liberty and such after working hours/ weekends.
