Does Fort Benning BCT have a graduation or do they graduate when they finish AIT?

Question

My husband just started basics at Fort Benning, GA a he called me while in processing and told me that there was talk around the barracks that they were not going to be graduating when they finish BCT. They would only get a graduation after finishing AIT. Is this true? Or is it just rumor?

Answer 1

If he is INFANTRY, He's in OSUT, The graduation will be after AIT!

Answer 2

Need more info. Whats your husbands MOS?

Answer 3

Since he's at Fort Benning, I'm guessing he's infantry. Infantrymen don't graduate until they complete AIT.  

Answer 4

OSUT: The combo between basic and specialized infantry skills.  After both he will graduate and be an infantry soldier.  Its 13 -14 weeks and then you will be able to see him graduate and put his blue cord on.  The blue cord is the most signifigant honor to an infantryman.  Be proud if he asks you and not his mother or father.
