I finally picked my MOS as 35F since they only offered me a limited amount because I am Sergeant and prior service.

My question is: Are prior service students in AIT allowed to bring their POVs? I asked the civilian guy who assigns the jobs. He said since its a training environment I can't bring my POV.

I don't want to sound selfish but not getting any jobs in the medical field, not getting no bonus at all and nearly losing my Sergeant rank kind of ticks me off due to the fact I'm going to be in AIT for at least 4 months plus the holdover time for security check without a car.

Is the guy at MEPS telling the truth or not?

Like many other things, this depends on your command. My fiance is in AIT at Huachuca right now for 35T, which is 48 weeks, and POVs are allowed once the soldier reaches Phase 5+. Hopefully another 35F can tell you for sure!

I know that IET privates in both of the 35F companies at Huachuca can have POVs, although maybe not immediately. As a MOS-T/prior service, there is no reason you cannot have your POV from the start of AIT.

What retard said.

You're not an IET soldier, so you should be allowed to have it. If you have a rediculous plt sgt, they might try to give you hassle.

Has anyone gotten a clear answer to this one yet? I'm prior service looking at 35F. This isn't a deal breaker but would be nice.

Like I said before, I knew people in pretty much every IET company that had a POV in AIT. The only restriction was they first had to reach Phase 5+. Since prior service/MOS-T soldiers do not use a phasing system, this is not a issue. Frequently MOS-T soldiers have to attend formations and training that are several miles from their barracks or housing. It would be ridiculous for the platoon sergeants to have to handle transportation for these soldiers as well.

Clear copy on that. Thanks.

Every MOS-T I knew there had a car/motorcycle as well as most of the IETers. Just don't give any IET soldiers a ride.

im sure you are already there but reclasses are TDY and or PCSed so you fall under those guidelines this is not like AIT for every other e1-e4.
