Question
I have a question I'm hoping you can find an answer on. I left the Army in 2001. In 2005, I joined the Guard but in a different MOS. Now they want me back in my first MOS. A lot has changed in my old MOS since I left, and honestly, it is a very technical MOS and I have forgotten a lot. At what point (I have been out of the field for 7 years now) should I be sent back to school (i.e. AIT)? Is there a regulation covering that?
If you are selected to return to your prior Career Field... You will have to go back through the AIT course. I am not sure what the reg is , but common sense will tell you that since the technology has vastly changed, then you will have to be trained in that new technology

I have spent the past 20 years in the U.S. Air Force, 3 years was assigned as an Enlisted Accessions Recruiter. I have been deployed various times to several locations. If it is a career in the military you are looking for or thinking about I most likely have the answer. I still have contacts with in the recruiting field and if I don't know the answer then I have folks who do where I can find the answer. I am very blunt and straight forward and will make no attempts to BS you. I will give you the best information that I possible can can. If you think that you cant handle the answer that I give you, then don't ask the question...... If you are planning on joining the military, your number 1 decision factor in making this kind of move is that you need to be more concerned about serving your country than your country serving you!! All the benefits are the best that you can find. Education is at a premium right now and its the most rewarding thing that you can do. If I dont answer right away probably means that I am busy, but have patience, I will get to you.
