my Mos is 62b, (heavy eqp.mech)havn't been to school yet , I'm on a wait list for a school . will today i get an email about(dl)training before i go to the hands on school. it says the phase 1 part is 115 hrs long. on my time , no pay whats up? need some advise here!
Are you doing distance learning or on site Guard MOSQ school? You'll only get paid if you get sent to a onsite school like I did for 52C in Kansas. I don't envey you if they make you do DL. The cd-roms are a pain in the arss!! Distance learning is usually on your own, I suggest finding someone in your unit that is well versed in your mos for it to help you study. I had to finish the DL when I got to the school cause I ran out of time beforehand.
Thanks for the info. I called my unit training nco today, not to much help see I live some 2 hrs away. there is a pre test i must take before I start, which it says it takes up to 4hrs. it looks like it will take me 3 months or more , to finsh this 1st phase.
I'm doing DL for 74D right now, it's a real bear. They do have it online now instead of the CD roms, which is nice. Otherwise, yes, its a crappy necessity to do the DL on your own time. Sorry man!
I have completed hundreds of hours of distance learning, the trick is to kill a few tree and print out the entire lesson, then take the exam and look up the answers as you go... all army schools are open book exams anyway so its not cheating...

Distance Learning is an option for completing MOS school/AIT. Is that correct?
If so, does anyone know of a listing online that would show which schools are availiable in a distance learning format?
Thanks
In the Guard & Army Reserve phases of schools may be offered/authorized as as DL. No MOS can be gained thru DL only and no AIT is DL. You can use ATRRS https://www.atrrs.army.mil/atrrscc/ to find what MOS has DL phases, but you must research each MOS individually.
