Hello,
I've done multiple searches on many different sites, talked to my recruiter, and I'm still a little confused about the amount of training time my MOS will require:
I'm going into the Reserve, and decided to go 0313 LAV Crewman. I understand it falls under infantry, so that means when I go to SOI, I'll be in the ITB, which according to SOI-east's site is 52 days, correct? While at SOI, do I specialize in anything in particular (like machine-gunner or mortar man)? I'll then have another 6 weeks of LAV school, correct?
If what I've gathered is correct, the breakdown is:
13 weeks of boot
10 days home (working my civilian job)
52 days of SOI
6 weeks of LAV
Do I have it about right?
I really look forward to all the training, I've been at a desk job for far too long, but I need to be able to give my employer a pretty good amount of heads up before I disappear for what looks like the better part of a year.
One last question: In the case of reservists, is your name passed on to the unit that you'll eventually be serving with, even before you go to boot?
Thanks for any help you can give!
