I recently got reclassed because I got hurt in Airborne (originally supposed to be a 92R) and I was wondering about little things like the PT, if we keep our phones, the classroom work, and any tips to keep me get through those 10 weeks. Thanks!

sit down, shut up, and learn!! I imagine you will keep your phone. I imagine the PT will be pretty intense, just looking at the additional skills. best of luck!!!

Yes you can keep your phone just not on at schoolhouse, PT was nothing different from basic except when they make you stand and wait because people cant wake up on time like adults, classes are pretty simple if you pay attention

The pt there is very easy and laid back.And no at school you cannot have your phones if caught you will get a counseling but anytime after school and class you can have your phone back.But the mos itself is really easy and you will do you really good i promise you will be fine.

When I went through AIT, it was scheduled like everything is in the army but mostly it was wake up, pt, chow then school. There was a few weeks of classroom training I would advise you to take notes because there are tests. The hands on portion was more so just trouble shooting the equipment. The heaters seemed fairly easy but it can get complicated with schematic reading but it's all achievable. Good Luck!
