Guaranteed Training
The training selected is based on current training requirements existing at the time of applicant's enlistment. The applicant must understand, however, that one of the following may occur: training selected may be discontinued before attendance; soldier later may become medically disqualified for training selected; or soldier may fail to receive required security clearance (not because of data withheld at time of enlistment). If any one of these occurs, the soldier will be given the chance to select related training or any other training for which qualified and a training requirement (quota) exists. An alternate selection will be honored. Soldier will be required to complete the term of service for which enlisted. If solider does not desire alternate training, the solider may initiate a request for discharge, for unfulfilled enlistment contract.
The course length for training is not guaranteed and that the Army may change the course length or numeric designation of an MOS. (Enlistment remains valid provided that the MOS does not change content substantially.)
This program does not guarantee, imply or promise any assignment upon completion of AIT (job school). Further, no guarantee that the soldier will or will not be assigned to an overseas location is made. Recruiters and guidance counselors cannot make speculations or verbal commitments with regard to any provisions of this program.
If relieved from training for academic deficiency, disciplinary reasons, or failure to receive required security clearance because of information withheld by applicant at time of enlistment, then the soldier will be assigned, according to the needs of the Army, and required to complete the term of service for which enlisted.
This program may be combined with an incentive program (such as enlistment bonus or Army College Fund) if the applicant meets the requirements of the incentive program and then enlists for an MOS under such program.
