Can you go to AIT sick (I have to report on the 2nd and I feel like complete crap)? Any suggestions?

I suggest you do one of a couple of things: 1) You hit the ER to get treated for your symptoms. 2) Take a buttload of NyQuil or TheraFlu to jump start your system.

But to answer your question, yes you can.

WOW, is that really a question? Is this the new military? Maybe a note from your mother will get you excused. I am just floored by this one.

Report to your AIT base and go on sick call. If you fail to arrive NLT your reporting time you are biting off a big piece of a different kind of trouble. PCS orders are orders and are expected to be executed in a timely manner.

YES go to AIT sick. You'll be able to go to the TMC on sick call and then return to training. DON'T ever miss the NLT on orders. You are not the 1st and won't be the last soldier that goes to any IET sick. P.S. Drink water!

Went to my tech school with a case of Tonsillitis, sucked it up and pushed on through.
