EW is trained under the Cyber School. Prior Service Soldiers attending EW is very common and training with Initial Entry Training (IET) Soldiers attending EW right after their BCT -- you go through training and education together. You will have a schoolhouse experience, an experience being a &quot;trainee&quot; in a training company with Drill Sergeants for physical training, formations, admin/log, etc, and this is where you will note a difference in management over prior service trainees like you. You will also have an experience just using the resources available at Fort Gordon. If have you a question more specific to any of these areas I can try to answer it or I&#39;ll help direct you to a source for CURRENT and ACCURATE information. <br />Another prior service EW graduate (within the last 2 years) might jump on this board and give you the detailed response you&#39;re looking for. Until then, let me know anything you specifically have on your mind.

Good fishing, running areas, and picnic/camping on base. It is a training base so expect that experience. It was my first official AIT when I was an E6. I was drafted in 1972 and already had a skill the Army could use and sent me direct from bct at Ft Dix, NJ to Ft Lewis, WA. I graduated from bct as an E3.
