Perhaps if there are any of our friends from the South on this board, they can answer a few questions that I have always wondered about.
What are U.S. Army and Marine courses like as far as length, content, and size? I guess I am interested in the Infantry trade as far as specifics go.
I know Regulars and Reservists undergo the same training (are they loaded on the same courses? do they even call them courses down there?). Also how does the career progression structure work in the U.S.? I guess I am just trying to compare and corroborate our training with that of our allies.
I know that the U.S. Army has a Basic Training length of 2 months? (What sort of weapons, etc is learned on this course asides from like drill, NBC warfare, radio, rank, indoc, etc).
And from Basic training, the soldier goes onto the Advanced Individual Training (AIT), which is what? I have heard 9 weeks or so? Again what sort of weapons and skills are taught on this course?
Thanks in advance for any answers.... if anyone has info on the Marine Infantry, I would like to see that as well.
