by the way for those that dont know this and the Army does not tell you i found out on the way out lol. you can fast track as they call it at leadt you used to be able . in other words like my MOS was 63S heavy wheel mechanic 10tons and above . do you can take all the test at once and faast track witch means you test out before everyone else does they have to got to the school house ever day and do their thing that the NCOIC has for you. not if you fast track you haVE TO STAY ON POST AND AT YOUr AIT UNIT BUT YOUR DONE WITH SCHOOL YOU TOOK ALL THE TESTS AND PASSED your golden man.

Depends on if you are going for basic training or for AIT. If you go there for BT you don’t have access to any gyms at all.. you are basically confined to one area 24/7. If you go for AIT there is a gym on the base, but it was closed due to Covid when I was there, not sure if they’ve opened it back up yet. I mostly just did my own workouts in my room.

[@xymfli4794]

So how exactly do phone privileges work? How often/how long, difference between black and gold phase? Also do you get any day passes to have visitors?

[@ardariustv]

For us phone privileges went like this: first of all, black and gold phase for us didn’t have a difference (they said we were a good class) we got our phones during both black and gold phase, the entire weekend Friday at 1700- Sunday at 1900 . But the normal black phase you would get your phone for 2 hours each day. (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) and during gold phase you will get it for the entire weekend and also during gold phase you will get a pass to walk around base with your battles without drill Sargents, you can shop, eat, etc. And we didn’t get to have visitors during our AIT due to Covid so I’m not sure how that works. But I’ve heard that in the pass visitors were allowed on weekends

[@xymfli4794]

You seemed distracted.. lol all I wanted to know was how many test are there and how many assessments you have to do.

[@ardariustv]

Lol I was a little distracted but there are 3 different test/assessments to complete the course. The first assessment will be hands on… you will be assessed on everything your instructor has taught you about the M1120 HEMTT Load Handling System. The second assessment will also be hands on and it will be on everything you learn about the M915 semi trailer truck. And the final test is an online test over a book that they give you on Day ONE. It’s called a “Red Book” everything you will learn throughout the entire course is in the red book. The red book test is 50 questions. It wasn’t hard at all I passed with a 98(only missed 1 question). You also will have 2 Road Test, one driving the LHS, and one with the M915 In order to pass ALL assessments you have to get at least a 80%
