How long does Army job training last?

Your Army job, or MOS (Military Occupational Specialty), determines which school you’ll attend and for how long. There are a variety of AIT schools, and you’ll be sent to the school that specializes in your assigned job. AIT can last between four to 52 weeks, depending on the skills you’ll need to develop before reporting to your first unit.

Do Officers receive job training?

Can you switch career paths while in the Army?

Yes, you are able to request a specialty reassignment by filling out a reclassification request form. You can also find other opportunities for career change, such as working for promotions or commissioning as an Officer.
