To the best of my abilities I have asked around even through my chain of command and yet to have gotten a direct answer. I'm in AIT and am wondering how does one earn a slot into jungle school and what's the best way to prep for it?

Not sure if it's the same now, but back in the day, Jungle School was a unit school. Not sure if there were rotations for individuals or not.

Hmm because back when I went through MI training I saw in Army Times that they re-opened the school so if it is a unit like you stated then I will have to find another route but if it has changed then my search continues. I do appreciate it though SGT!

Yes, they did re-open it. It's in Hawaii now instead of Panama. I don't know whether the format is the same or not.

Can you get orders for Hawaii? Like any organization, the Army wants to save money.You can also get Air Assault school. Plus.............it's Hawaii. Let me know when you get set up and we'll drop in and say hi.

The Jungle Expert tab is authorized for wear, but only Panama and Hawaii (maybe something has changed recently)

I can request for them after that it's a case of hurry up and wait

Drop a 4187 immediately. Nothing good happens overnight in the military.

When going to schools I suggest really getting to know your chain of command. Also having a proactive chain of command is important! Don't give them a reason to not send you... PT score body fat etc. Get close with your training room personnel!
