CARL: You are incorrect, all AIT is for after Basic Training, unless you are going through OSUT, which combines the two. Soldiers that are failing AIT get pushed back a couple weeks to be retrained on whatever subject they are having difficulties with. It may have been different if you were a militant during the Vietnam Era. That would make your opinions obsolete since things change as history progresses. Also certain MOS's have accredited courses with certificates that can be utilized outside of the Military.
