What is the 12 week Infantry AIT like?

I am split option and completed BCT at Alpha 2-58 this summer. I will go to AIT next summer. I’m on the 22 week cycle so will go go the 12 week AIT. I know not too many have completed a 22 week cycle and only some companies are doing the 22 week cycle currently as they’re phasing out the 14 week OSUT. I will also be there when the ACFT is enacted. What should I expect and how should I best prepare?

Just think of Basic Training, and make it more in depth.

Sounds like you have a basic understanding (no pun) so just roll with it

Shoot me an email. I have some ACFT soefic workouts created by Army hired strength coaches. You'll need to show up with ACFT strength.

Biggest advice I always have for split ops is don’t lose what you gained. Military bearing, basic soldier stuff, maybe most importantly physical conditioning. I’ve seen a lot of split ops struggle of fail because they came home and didn’t stay up on their details

It's not AIT. You will get some advanced or AIT courses in your first visit and some basic courses in your second visit. AIT is all advanced courses. OSUT is a mixed schedule. They used to post the schedule week by week on the Fort Benning Website somewhere for Infantry OSUT.
