Holy hell this is a crazy coincidence. I leave for BCT at Ft. Jackson next week, my MOS is 35P (well, 35W for now) and head out to DLI around June. I'm hoping to get Korean, but it's a toss-up I hear. Either way, I'm very excited.

Will be sure to look you up when I get there!


haha good luck relaxin in jackson (not really, but be glad you don't have to go to the hell that is fort leonard wood in winter). you should get an email about halfway through basic telling you which language you got, if you actually manage to get a computer and check your email at basic (which i doubt). if you have any questions about dli/basic (dunno how accurate my answers about basic will be) just ask and ill be more than happy to help.

Have you done any training at Ft. Fort Huachuca (Arizona)? My parents live near there.


nope, but i hope to at some point. that's where the 35m (human intelligence collector) school is, which i want to attend some day. it's also the headquarters of military intelligence.


Yeah, I got lucky with the ship date. One month earlier, freezing cold. One month later, blistering heat =). I have a couple questions I can think of immediately for DLI, BCT my recruiters have talked my ear off about what to expect.

I read that soldiers are able to "trade" languages with another if they don't end up with one they want. Can you tell me more about the process and if it is a viable way for getting the language you want?

How soon after Basic did you report to DLI? I have heard that it is immediately after, i.e. you get on a plane the same day you graduate Basic. I graduate on a Thursday and my family is considering making a weekend trip of it if I am to report the following Monday.

Kind of an odd question here, but is enclosed storage/parking available for your POV? I'm considering a 73 Mustang (cliche Private move, I know) and would not be able to leave it outside.

Thanks for your time (if what I hear is true, free time is quite valuable there), I'll post again if I think of anything else!

trading is possible, but it's not likely that it will happen. you have to do all this crazy shit and get it approved, but it's definitely possible. just talk to your platoon sergeant when you get here and they'll try to hook you up.

i reported the same day i shipped off from basic. some people got emails on their ako that told them their report date wasn't until later, but ignore that if you do get one. your drill sergeants will give you your official orders the day after you graduate and they will have the report date as the same day.

all the parking here is outside, sorry.

also a few other things to expect when you get here. when you get here it will probably be at like 0100 and you'll get put in b co where you'll undergo phase 4 (phase 1-3 are red white and blue in bct, though they all pretty much are the same for the first three). basically phase 4 exists so you don't go insane from having 0 freedom in basic to having tons of freedom here. it's infinitely better than basic though, so don't be nervous when you are coming here. one last thing, for your pt test you better be able to pass AIT standards (60%) because you'll need it to phase up or else you'll get stuck in phase 4 for a while.
