Summary: Patient Administration Specialist AIT takes place at Fort Sam Houston. It lasts seven weeks making it one of the shortest training periods for a medical-related MOS.
Marine Corps Basic TrainingLargely considered the toughest basic training program of the United States Armed Forces, Marine training is 12 weeks of physical, mental, and moral transformation. Special attention is given to close combat skills and master marksmanship training (every Marine is a rifleman, after all).
The Army calls their enlisted jobs military occupational specialties, or MOS. Going through Army AIT is much like going to college, with the exception of mandatory PT (exercise sessions) each morning and the fact that you're not allowed to skip any classes.
Drill sergeants in AIT will further the goal of a seamless transition to the operational Army with disciplined, fit and combat-ready Soldiers ready for their first unit of assignment.
Black Phase. This phase begins on the first training day of the first week of AIT or weeks 11 through 13 of OSUT. Reduced supervision by Drill Sergeants and Platoon Sergeants, reinforcement training on common skills, values, and traditions taught in BCT, and increased emphasis on MOS tasks characterize this phase.
If your Commander believes you are purposely failing through AIT, then it's possible you may receive a non-judicial punishment, a court-martial, or a more punitive discharge. If you are very lucky, that could be a general discharge. But more than likely, it would be an Other than Honorable Discharge.

No, training doesn't count as active duty. For the regular Army/Navy/Air Force/Marine Corps/Coast Guard, active duty begins when a military member reports to a duty station after completion of training (basic, officer training, tech school).
Here are some military care package ideas that are appreciated by service members:
- Necessities, such as sunblock, socks, underwear, flip-flops, lip balm and powder.
- Snacks, including chips, salsa, nuts, cookies, beef jerky, non-melting candy and trail mix in packaging that isn't easily crushed.
The Office of the Army Surgeon General recommends that soldiers sleep at least seven hours per night, although only a minimum of four hours is required during field training exercises.
Being on active duty is similar to working a full-time job. In the Army, for instance, its active duty soldiers serve 24 hours a day, seven days a week for the length of their service commitment (that's not to say that each soldier works a 24-hour shift, just that there are always soldiers on duty).
At the background clearance check stage, the easiest military branch to join is the Army or Navy. At the ASVAB stage, the easiest military branch to join is the Army or Air Force. At the basic training stage, the easiest military branch to join is the Air Force.

Except this is the new Army, an army that no longer allows drill sergeants to be cussing, ranting, abusive beasts. They cannot slap, hit, kick, punch or call privates names anymore.
