SSG Private RallyPoint Member 282138 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Im currently in the Nat'l Guard with an ETS fast approaching, I'd like to reclass to 25B (to help my military and civilian career). I've have held a similar MOS when I was active duty/guard previously, currently there is nothing available on the Guard side within the state for this MOS, Im having to reassign with the Reserves, they have several slots, and re-enlist, because I want to make sure my RPAM reflects a good 20 years of service. <br />My questions are: With no formal educational training beyond high school, is there anything I can do to prepare myself for the 25B AIT besides the usual soldiering skills? Im talking like classes, certifications etc., something that might give me an edge on the class. What can I expect from AIT once I've graduated? Will there be any job placement/assistance? or back to hitting the bricks? I havent seen anything updated on this particular MOS in quite a while, so any guidance/headsup would be greatly appreciated! 2014-10-17T15:47:14-04:00 SSG Private RallyPoint Member 282138

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>As a former 25B, they're basically going to shove you through 2 years worth of Community College in 19 weeks and will keep telling you "that's OJT" or "You'll learn that at your unit." <br /><br />It's a good starting point but don't expect anything too great. Also, pursue the civilian certifications to attain success in an IT career. I was an IT guy for 6 years.
