Story from 50 some years ago, and may not reflect current state. When I was a company clerk, I told 1SG that a soldier had gone AWOL. He said if I had orders to Leonard Wood, I would go AWOL, too, but that is no excuse. LOL

As a SPC you can expect to be housed with the other IET soldiers, unless you are specifically going to a reclass only school ... I am not familiar with that at LW. You will be listed as MOS'QD; but I would bank on not getting much more freedoms than the IET soldiers. Although you will most likely be housed with them in the same building you are more than likely going to be a separate room/area and will be told not to interact with them unless in class. I would highly recommend you not hang out with them outside of class... there is a reason they make this a rule in most all reclass situations.

Can someone give me any insight on what being an 88M is like? Also any insight to AIT at Ft....
I recently decided to go active duty. I was able to keep my E-4 rank and went with the 88M MOS. I will be shipping out January 7th for AIT to Ft. Leonard Wood, MO. Any advice on what I can expect, personal experiences, packing list, do's & dont's, etc.? I would greatly appreciate it.
