Can someone provide the latest rundown on Active Duty 14G life?

AIT is 16 weeks at FT Sill, duty stations are pretty numerous and daily duties will be dependent on where he ends up. I'm one of the senior 14G in 32D right now you can look me up on global if you have any more direct questions.

Being a gulf has its pros and cons

Pros: you can literally go anywhere. It’s the one job in air defense where you’re not bound to just air defense units. You can go infantry, aviation, air defense, artillery, it’s seemingly limitless. You also can consistently re-enlist in active duty or the NG with nice bonuses. Training is pretty straight forward and actually fairly easily. As long as you get to a good unit, it can actually be fairly enjoyable.

Cons: like I said, you can get sent anywhere. I’m in Korea right now in a patriot battalion, but when I get back state side, I’m going to a ABCT with a major infantry division that deploys fairly regularly. So the scope changes a lot. Which can be either really good or really bad. The AIT sucked. The schoolhouse played a lot of games and even treat reclasses pretty poorly.

Hope the experience is different for you.

Also worth noting, there’s talk of remerging 14H’s and 14G’s back to 14J’s. So keep that in mind

I can give you my experience of being a QM in a hawk unit. 2/57 ADA in Katterbach. The worst job I ever had. They relived the CW2. Gagnon, I think his name was. He had been a PBO.COL Donald Infante the Group Commander called DA and said get me a true 920B. I cleaned that place up as a CW3. Gagnon did make CW3 and retired. The as I pull my all others tour he calls me and says I am going to Command Fort Bliss and I want you to come and be my senior QM. I said sir I am never going any again that has a Fort in front of it. They sent me to Cameron Station. USAREC. Log Chief.
