Training

Soldiers training to perform the duties of an Information Technology Specialists will attend the IT Specialists course at Fort Gordon, Georgia. Fort Gordon provides training for Initial Entry Training (IET) Soldiers, as well as Reclassifying Soldiers, from other Occupational Specialties, or Prior Service members. For training purposes, though all Soldiers in the course will receive the same training, they are separated as MOS-I for Initial Training, and MOS-T for re-class.

The Information Technology Specialists course is approximately 20 weeks long, and soldiers in training will be classed into one of the several phases during training. This is a continuation of the phases started in Army basic training, and all service members in training regardless of rank or time in service will participate.

Phase 4

Phase IV (weeks 1 - 3 of AIT) begins with the first week of AIT and ends when the Soldier demonstrates proficiency to move up in phase. The first opportunity to phase-up will be provided at 15 days with subsequent opportunities provided weekly thereafter. Use, possession or purchase of alcohol is prohibited during all Phases except as religious sacrament.

In order for an MOS-I Soldier to move from Phase IV to Phase V privileges, the Soldier must pass Knowledge Exam, recite the Soldier's Creed, sing their branch song and army song, and pass Class A, Wall Locker, and Room Inspections. Additionally, Soldiers must demonstrate proper discipline, pass all academic requirements, and pass their APFT with 60 points in each event.

Phase 5

Phase V (weeks 3-10 of AIT). Soldiers are authorized to wear civilian clothes, on-post pass privileges, Company Commanders can authorize extended weekend off-post pass privileges to Phase V Soldiers, however, members are subject to unit recall. Phase V Soldiers are allowed to use personal linen on their beds in accordance with policies established throughout each battalion.

Soldiers are not authorized to ride in a POV or rental car without Company Commander approval, and alcohol consumption by MOS-I Soldiers is prohibited

Married Soldiers in Phase V with PCS orders to Fort Gordon or Fort Meade may be authorized to live off-post or in GMH managed post housing, if the spouse and/or children are in the immediate area, and upon approval from their Battalion Commander.

In order for an MOS-I Soldier to move from Phase V to Phase V+ privileges the Soldier must recite the Soldier's Creed, sing their branch song and the army song, and pass Class A, Wall Locker, and Room Inspections, complete the first level of the Structured Self Development course (SSD1)

Phase 5+

Phase V+ (weeks 11 through the end of AIT). Company Commanders may authorize the use of rental cars. Company Commanders may authorize Soldiers to purchase, register, and/or possess a privately owned vehicle (POV) once Soldiers complete 21 weeks of training. Since the training is no longer 22 weeks we are not authorized to have privately owned vehicles unless on a holiday block leaves such as Christmas. They also have other privileges
