How does being Active Duty Army work?

Question

Im confused about what im gonna do after Basic and AIT. I know that ill probably be back home for no more than two months. But what do I do after that?? Can anyone tell me anything? And my recruiter is out of town so i cant ask him.

Answer 1

What do you mean back home for no more than 2 months? You won't be home very often at all and if you're concerned about being at home you should join the National Guard and work one weekend a month, you might be glad you did.  

Answer 2

At the very end of AIT, you will get orders to your first duty station. You may have a chance to go home and do hometown recruiting, but that is only 10 days. Not quite sure where you're getting the idea that you will be home for 2 months. You will proceed to your duty station and to your new unit to do the job you were trained to do.

Answer 3

After AIT you get sent to wherever the Army needs your MOS.  You can take about 10 days leave, with few more if you take the hometown recruiting option.

  

Answer 4

after ait, you go to your duty station...what you were trained for... i dont see you going home for two months after ait...  see you in iraq soon...
