As a prior service Marine switching to the Army, I am left with little options to get back in. Any info on 91L?

Sounds like you might get your hands dirty but if you think about, it could be a great civilian career after you get out.

I'm a 91L. I love the job quite honestly. You have the ability to work on just about anything the army has because you have training and experience in brakes, hydraulics, diesel mechanics, electrical work in vehicles, etc. You end up with a lot of experience with the opportunity to test out and do really well on the civilian side.

What was your mos in the Marines? Will you be staying in the barracks with the rest of the IET soldiers? If you stay somewhere else it will be like going to school. In 2011 we did pt in the morning, went to chow, and then marched to buses to take us to the schooling area/compound. Spend all your time there until about 16-1700 if I remember correctly (I could be wrong on the time, but you get the idea.) Take buses back to the barracks and study/clean/do whatever the AIT Platoon Sergeants have you doing, or have free time. It was like that the whole time for me. As far as the mos itself? You learn systems such as electrical, diesel engines, hydraulics, powertrains, brakes, etc. Once you get to your unit you cross train for all the motorpool work. You won't "only" have 91B doing work on humvees and "only" 91L doing work on a dozer. But technically, a 91L can do a 91B's job, but a 91B can't do all of a 91L's job. 91L's are trained on systems like hydraulics and such that 91B's weren't trained on in AIT. At least that's what I was told in AIT, but I've never been to 91B AIT so I wouldn't know for sure. Hope this helps, and if you have anymore questions feel free to ask.

Being a 91L is great but don’t be surprised if you find yourself workin on other equipment than what you went to ait for 91L’s are very versatile

When I went through the AIT we had Marine students and teachers and went through the classes together.

You will be trained at delta 554th ft. Leonardwood mo. Training is short and easy. You have to pretty slow not to pass the classes they give you 2 or 3 chances. They only thing that company doesn't take is pt failures

It’s a simple mechanic school two months real easy easier if you have prior mechanic skills
