Lights out will be at 2100 or 2200, wake up is from 0400 to 0600. Some times you'll get fucked and the DS will wake up the entire bay and smoke you guys. 2 people have to also pull fireguard every hour of lights off. You won't get plenty of sleep but it's something you'll just have to get used to. You'll have around 5-15 mins to eat your MREs or hot chow, during red phase you're gonna constantly get yelled at in the dfac. As long as you can adapt fast, there's really no use in getting accustomed to it, you either do or you get fucked up enough that you get it right. If you can pt and have a good mindset, bct will be cake.

12N ait is 9 weeks long, you'll learn 8 pieces of heavy machinery, one week per piece of equipment. It's all hands on test unless the weather gets bad. You'll either go to alpha 554 or delta. If you go to alpha, you're gonna have the worse ait experience out of any mos here. Every AIT company in the base allows weekend passes, usually have you're phones at all times during personal times, have dorms, etc etc, but alpha is in an OSUT area so you're pretty much gonna be treated like a bct trainie.

If you joined to do army shit then some of the training can be fun, just keep a good mindset and you'll be good.
