There’s 7 classes for 25B AIT Foundations (5 weeks) Software (2 weeks) CCNA 1 (3 weeks) CCNA 2 (3 weeks) Security Fundamentals (2 weeks) CPN (1-2 weeks) Army Net (1-2 weeks) I’m graduating next week so this is how I know and as long as you try to listen and stay awake in class and study, you’ll be fine. Literally only the people that don’t try fail. If you fail a class and fail the retake then you’ll get sent to RTP where you’ll wait who knows how long to get in that class again, wait can be from 2 weeks to 3 months depending on the class. Good luck.
Eric Dean I think the only class that you might be able to skip is probably Foundations if you score high enough on a test that sees where you’re at. If you do get skipped ahead tho i mean then you’ll be waiting for a spot in a class for a while probably so it probably won’t be much of a difference in time you’ll be there. You’ll have to ask around with the teachers honestly or talk to the boss of the campus, he walks around in classes most of the time, and see what they can do for you. They’ll probably let you try to get more certs too. The ones they offered us to take there was the CCENT and Network Plus. But anyway it’s possible to get skipped up but I doubt you’ll skip more than 1 class.
Did you have background in IT? How would it be for someone with no IT experience at all? Do you know any one who passed and didn’t know a thing about IT?
This was really helpful, I just signed and I leave Thursday and Friday for MEPs, I ship out for basic in June 2019, I’m excited to go into 25B. My dad did IT too, he did it in the Air Force, my older brother does IT in the civilian world so I’m super excited to carry on my family tradition.
I just decided I think I’m interested in 25b I haven’t even talked to a recruiter yet but I was wondering if you could give me some insight on requirements to get into IT like a certain asvab score?
I just been assigned the same MOS. Swore in this past Tuesday. I'm excited. Your videos have helped me A LOT!!! I'm 32 (an older recruit) but I feel imma do fine. I've done the research (thanks to your vids, and other) and it seems like A VACATION compared to my life now. Thank you for posting then info!
@@andrewmcneil528so I’m 29 and just graduated basic training, my mos is 25B , being an old recruit wasn’t so bad but you do stand out since majority of trainees are 18 to 24, however you’ll also have 27 and older even 40, so go for it if you haven’t! I recommend it!
@@malachimorgan1440 Not really, but if you want to make the army as a career I don’t recommend you to take this MOS. It’s almost impossible to promote. I had to change to 25Q to be able to promote to SGT.
Yeah I chose 25B and I have no IT experience. But I'm just taking classed in my school to learn at least the basics of computers and networking. This video was helpful in terms of classes and things you do on a daily basis. Thank you
did you do okay even though you didnt have much IT experience? i am trying to learn same as you- basics of computers and networking...but howd it go for you with not a ton of IT experience? thank u in advance i know this post is old figured id take my chances haha
I just picked this job today. So glad I found this video. It helped me out a lot. I'm leaving November 11th to go to ft. Jackson for basic and ft gordon. I'm excited because I live like 15-20 minutes from fort gordon.
Lots of questions for you: Gaming system: Do you recommend bringing a laptop vs. desktop? Once you get to Phase V, can you get around on a longboard, or is it strictly walking everywhere? Can you bring your own pillow or an extra blanket to AIT? After AIT graduation, how soon do you head off to Airborne? If you don't go to Airborne school, do you get time off after graduation before heading to your duty station? Sorry so many. I haven't found much "inside" information about Fort Gordon. Thanks!

Thanks for this video. I'm a junior in hoghschool, signing up for delayed entry. I'm qualified for 25B on the ASVAB, and that's probably what I'll pick. Video was very helpful and answered questions I've had for a long while.
@matt ward - thanks for this video! I’m currently an IT guy that is waiting to enlist in the Army (after the corona virus blows over) and I’m considering doing this as my MOS. Appreciate the info!
I'm excited for my son on his new career with the army hes excited hes finishing basic training. Is my son said he loves being in the army. My son is 18 I hope he does well. When I joined I was a combat engineer very different very strict at Fort Leonard wood. I hope Fort Gordon does not have too many distractions.
I’m 29 so it’s been awhile since I’ve been in school. I’m nervous about taking the ASVAB and making sure to score 95 to qualify for 25B. What do i need to study before taking the ASVAB to make sure I get MOS 25B?
Yah you can have electronics as long as you can secure it inside your wall locker, you may also need to sign something stating the value and type of valuable objects you have in case they are stolen.
Yes. It'll just take a little more studying for the first class. Most people will have very little to no IT experience. That's why they start with the basics the first 5 weeks.
The best time to study is during your 2-hr long fireguard shifts. Where you literally have nothing better to do than to actually study vs just sitting there.
Is it really possible to pass a CCNA class with absolutely no prior networking experience? I've seen some CCNA test questions and that looks crazy advance. Cisco networking is no joke.
Will i have time to myself ? I want to join 25B but i really want to go to school and earn a degree in military . Is this a job where there are long hours or will i have a “9-5” type schedule ? I dont mind working after a few times a month or will that be almost every week? Pls help, anyone 🙏🏽
At ait you won’t have much time honestly, I’m a 25B right now and about to graduate. Our free time doesn’t usually start till after 1800 or 6 pm formation and the formation could take like an hour too depending on how disciplined your company is and how much info they’ll have to put out. Then lights out is at 2100 or 9pm on schooldays. You actually do get some time on the weekends tho because first formation isn’t until 0900 for us and lights out is at 2300 or 11pm. During that time it’s usually all yours unless you get assigned to do cleaning duties or have to attend some mandatory briefings which happens sometimes. There’s still more formations throughout the day but they don’t usually take much time.
Can you spell out the types of classes you mentioned? like A+ and etc...I'm shipping out in a couple months for 25B, but I barely have any experience in IT...I have 2-3 months free before going so wondering if there's any class I can take or study material/books/online that I can study before going just so I won't be buried with information with no time to study?
I'm already in a training program for my A+ and N+ certs, Was looking into this as a start off for experience but it might be redundant to have to go through another A+ course immediately after obtaining it.
pouremilee Fort Gordon is a huge relief from basic training. Only advice would be to make sure you don’t slack off in class and pay attention / work on and study the material from your room when you have the opportunity. Gladiators lead the way
I’m looking at cyber operations specialist (17c) and my recruiter said that IT was a good starting point. If you know about 17c, does 25b school prepare you for that?
I had a buddy of mine go into that school. It really is hard. Very little sleep. I was just in 68W school and we have little sleep but it’s worse there and like I said it’s a lot harder. But a very neat job
Thank you Matt for sharing the knowledge. It is very helpful. My Son is interested in 25D Cyber Network Defender, but there are no vacancies, so his next preference is 35G and 25B. Going with MOS 25 is better to keep his options open for 25D or better, or take 35 G as that is his second preference and vacancies are there in National Guard for this?
@@zaynyassine9968 160th soar training in at fort Campbell in Kentucky, as a bravo you will mostly run networks, reimage computers and run a help desk for your battalion/company/brigade most likely
What’s the barracks room situation like? One to a room? 2 to a room? 4 to a room? (Had to do that once training in pcola). Also, if I end up doing this training, I’ll be a E5 so do higher ranks get more privileges? And how often or were you allowed at all to go off base for libo? Good informational video.
currently at 25b ait, ik alot of people here with absolutely no tech experience. You get taught from the ground up how to do everything, as long as you put in the effort youll pass everything easily
I am at Fort Gordon for the 25B courses and will be graduating in two weeks. The class order in this video is incorrect. It is Hardware/Foundations which is 5 weeks then Software which is three weeks. Then it is CCNA1 for 3 weeks then CCNA2 for three weeks. After that there is Security Plus for about a week. Then CPN for about a week then Armynet which is about the same time.
I'm confused brah what's your MOS? Your currently my fav army RUclipsr. You get into detail and I understand fully. Just curious what's your MOS? And your opinion on 25B. Cause that's the MOS I'm focused on.
Thanks for the video, I really appreciate it. When you get these certifications, can you use them after the military to get a job? Or are they only for the military? Thanks again 😀
do you go to 25 bravo soon as you get out of boot camp training and how does it work if you're a pc gamer do they have good internet can I bring a desktop or a lab top
I'm on VBL from BCT, I was JW do these military classes transfer to a college credits? 4+ weeks left at Ft. Jackson then to Ft. Gordon to become a 25B.
I'm considering joining the army and this seems like the perfect field for me. Although I was hoping to do something more directly in line with network defense, something like the hackers u see the military movies but I couldn't find a field like that. Quick question, how difficult is it to get the ASVAB scores u need to go into 25 fields?
+code I can't answer that question. Just do the best you can and if you make it you are good. To me it was easy but others barely made the required score. But that's more like the new cyber branch that you are looking at. It's more like programming than anything and is much more of what you seem to be looking for.
1. Yes you can and you could have your parents bring it to you one day. 2. You're parent's could visit you every weekend if you want. For AIT though as a 25B you have to wait until you get 5+ privileges to go off post and go home on a 4 day weekend. So you can see them the first weekend but you won't be able to go home for a minimum of 10-11 weeks.
You must return no matter what every day for formation and remain in the barracks till the next day even as a phase 5+ and on a 4 day weekend. Battalion wide policy letter 17. But as Shootermup89 said they can visit you every weekend, my company specifically from the hours of 1200-2000 typically.
Puggy Puggs Yes you do! But I’d suggest going for your certs when you’re in Foundation or Software class or after completing all classes bc once you get to CCNA1-2 and Security, you will not have time to do ANYTHING else but study
Hi Matt, I am a civilian who works in IT. I have a kid on the way and am struggling with how I will be able to provide for my family. Looking for jobs but not having luck. I have a bachelor's degree in Cyber Security and Computer networking. I don't have any certifications yet but am studying for my security + certification. Is joining the Army a good option for me? I just want to be able to provide for my family.
If I’m re-classing and going to AIT as 25B. Will I get a different treatment. As in more leniency. Trying to see because when I was going through my OSUT we had reclasses there and they were allowed to basically do anything unless we were training.
Hey, I am planning to join this MOS, I was wondering if it was a hard Mos to get into? Do you remember when you went to Meps if they gave you another test for computers?
What’s the difference between this MOS - 25B, 17C and 35Q? I want a cyber job and I want something that will translate over into the civilian world easily. Right now I’m currently in school and my major is IT with a focus in Cyber Security. I’ve read on the army website that with 17C, after you complete AIT you’ll be able to get your A+, Network+, Security+ Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH), CISSP, & CCNA. 25B or 35Q doesn’t specifically say that in their descriptions. So I’m just trying to understand the pros and cons of each of those MOS’s.
I'm leaving for bootcamp October 28th. I enlisted as a 25q multi channel transmission system operator maintainer. Anyway you could possibly tell me about ait for this mos?
Where can you find these failure rates? I did a search on google but it only came up with forums and other boards where they asked for the failure rates for particular MOS-es. I'm particularly interested in signing up for 91F which is small arms/artillery repairer.
I'm in the enlistment process, just want to know what should I bring and what to excpect especially with all thats is going on with the corona virus and such. Would help me alot!
I’m headed to AIT in Fort Gordon in 2 days and I’m not sure if I’ll be able to have my phone and switch with me is it for sure that I’ll be able to have those items with me?
Any advice for someone going in as a 25S? I don't really know much about the mos and am unable to find any info regarding the training. Many blessings .
So if me and my spouse are doing the same job, we'll be in class together? Being able to help each other study? Also, what would be the hours for this job? And as far as a battle buddy, what if we wanted to hang out with our spouse?
If you already have the certs then yes you can work on others. Not all certifications are offered at AIT but afterwords you can take certifications and get reimbursed by the Gov if you pass
I am going to 25B soon. Regarding the question above, does that mean I need to take the test again? And what do they do with people who already have certification? Thanks in adnvance for your respond
There’s 7 classes for 25B AIT
Foundations (5 weeks)
Software (2 weeks)
CCNA 1 (3 weeks)
CCNA 2 (3 weeks)
Security Fundamentals (2 weeks)
CPN (1-2 weeks)
Army Net (1-2 weeks)
I’m graduating next week so this is how I know and as long as you try to listen and stay awake in class and study, you’ll be fine. Literally only the people that don’t try fail. If you fail a class and fail the retake then you’ll get sent to RTP where you’ll wait who knows how long to get in that class again, wait can be from 2 weeks to 3 months depending on the class. Good luck.
What If I already have my entry lvl certs, A+ and Sec+, would I be able to skip intro stuff and work on the CCNA?
Eric Dean I think the only class that you might be able to skip is probably Foundations if you score high enough on a test that sees where you’re at. If you do get skipped ahead tho i mean then you’ll be waiting for a spot in a class for a while probably so it probably won’t be much of a difference in time you’ll be there.

I am at Fort Gordon for the 25B courses and will be graduating in two weeks. The class order in this video is incorrect. It is Hardware/Foundations which is 5 weeks then Software which is three weeks. Then it is CCNA1 for 3 weeks then CCNA2 for three weeks. After that there is Security Plus for about a week. Then CPN for about a week then Armynet which is about the same time.
Thanks for the update
Matt Ward it's no problem.
I miss you PG
Yraelc the Unfortunate Executioners?
Joshua Ryan yeah 4th platoon is still going strong
So when you take the classes A+ CCNA Sec+; Do you recieve the certs?
Yee
15:38 | Bro you got some kind of ghost hovering above you, it's a weird black mass... creepy ngl.
Did I miss the weekend schedule? Sorry. I have been binging your videos lol. My MOS is 25B, I have to pass MEPS first.
I'm confused brah what's your MOS? Your currently my fav army RUclipsr. You get into detail and I understand fully. Just curious what's your MOS? And your opinion on 25B. Cause that's the MOS I'm focused on.
I'm a 25B!
Shootemup89 what did you get on the ASVAB when you took it? Need info on score needed on AFQT to at least qualify for 25B. I know line score I'm jw
Jesse Holley i scored a 90 and i qualify, if that helps.
I am leaving the Marine Corps as a field radio operator soon. Will be switching to the Army for 25B.
Thanks for the video, I really appreciate it. When you get these certifications, can you use them after the military to get a job? Or are they only for the military? Thanks again 😀
I’ve finished the 25B course!
Jeremy Brock where did you get stationed as your first duty station?
do you go to 25 bravo soon as you get out of boot camp training and how does it work if you're a pc gamer do they have good internet can I bring a desktop or a lab top
I am considering 25S ..Thanks for the video
I'm on VBL from BCT, I was JW do these military classes transfer to a college credits? 4+ weeks left at Ft. Jackson then to Ft. Gordon to become a 25B.
How are the test like. Open book or your have to do a lot of memorizing?
I'm considering joining the army and this seems like the perfect field for me. Although I was hoping to do something more directly in line with network defense, something like the hackers u see the military movies but I couldn't find a field like that. Quick question, how difficult is it to get the ASVAB scores u need to go into 25 fields?
+code I can't answer that question. Just do the best you can and if you make it you are good. To me it was easy but others barely made the required score. But that's more like the new cyber branch that you are looking at. It's more like programming than anything and is much more of what you seem to be looking for.
Is there a lot of coding in 25B or is it mostly hardware work?
code Mainly hardware work. I got a 64 on my asvab and qualified for it. I say get higher than a 55 and you'll be good
I am currently in 25B AiT and we do absolutely no coding in any of our classes. We train in hardware, network, security, etc.
25D is the MOS you want.
Gotta luv the Chef Boyardees!
Did you get those civilian certs? if so which ones?
2 questions, 1: Can we bring or get out game consoles and laptops shipped to us. 2: How long is it until we can visit family.
1. Yes you can and you could have your parents bring it to you one day.
2. You're parent's could visit you every weekend if you want. For AIT though as a 25B you have to wait until you get 5+ privileges to go off post and go home on a 4 day weekend. So you can see them the first weekend but you won't be able to go home for a minimum of 10-11 weeks.
You must return no matter what every day for formation and remain in the barracks till the next day even as a phase 5+ and on a 4 day weekend. Battalion wide policy letter 17.
But as Shootermup89 said they can visit you every weekend, my company specifically from the hours of 1200-2000 typically.
Do you have to give presentations or anything like that?
Thanks for the video!!! Do you have the opportunity to get all your certs while in AIT?
Puggy Puggs Yes you do! But I’d suggest going for your certs when you’re in Foundation or Software class or after completing all classes bc once you get to CCNA1-2 and Security, you will not have time to do ANYTHING else but study
Do you get weekends off when you get stationed?
How does MOS reclass work? Do you join a fresh outta BCT unit or seperate?
Time in service: 4yr,2mo.
MOS:92A
Should I be worried if I don't have a tech background going into this mos?
Dont worry about that just do it. You fail do it again
Hi Matt, I am a civilian who works in IT. I have a kid on the way and am struggling with how I will be able to provide for my family. Looking for jobs but not having luck. I have a bachelor's degree in Cyber Security and Computer networking. I don't have any certifications yet but am studying for my security + certification.
Is joining the Army a good option for me? I just want to be able to provide for my family.
Is it easy to get promoted in this MOS? I hear that some MOS' are difficult to get promoted in. What do you think?
25B points are pretty high compared to other MOS's
Any transitions during y’all time with there? I hope they were left alone lol
Are you familiar with 17c or 35t im interested in these IT related jobs and heard many good things about them do you know what classes you take?
If I’m re-classing and going to AIT as 25B. Will I get a different treatment. As in more leniency. Trying to see because when I was going through my OSUT we had reclasses there and they were allowed to basically do anything unless we were training.
Do you know anything about 25u or 25q? And will this mos help me after the army??
Hey, I am planning to join this MOS, I was wondering if it was a hard Mos to get into? Do you remember when you went to Meps if they gave you another test for computers?
Thank you for your video is very informative.
I'm hoping to get this MOS
Just graduated today 01/31/19 E co 3-60th RIVER RAIDERS!!!! Going to fort Gordon now
25B going to Benning in June. Wish me luck 😅
Good luck!
Matt Ward thanks matt!
Leave for Benning the 15th of September also a 25b
About how far into 25B AIT do you get your follow on assignment ? Airborne , permanent station etc...
What’s the difference between this MOS - 25B, 17C and 35Q? I want a cyber job and I want something that will translate over into the civilian world easily. Right now I’m currently in school and my major is IT with a focus in Cyber Security. I’ve read on the army website that with 17C, after you complete AIT you’ll be able to get your A+, Network+, Security+
Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH), CISSP, &
CCNA. 25B or 35Q doesn’t specifically say that in their descriptions. So I’m just trying to understand the pros and cons of each of those MOS’s.
25B you learn A+ stuff, Net+ stuff, Sec+ stuffy, CCNA stuff. Its fairly easy to get the certs after AIT because you were taught it.
I'm leaving for bootcamp October 28th. I enlisted as a 25q multi channel transmission system operator maintainer. Anyway you could possibly tell me about ait for this mos?
What are weekends like in the Military? Do you get your weekends or do you have to work/have obligations?
Where can you find these failure rates? I did a search on google but it only came up with forums and other boards where they asked for the failure rates for particular MOS-es. I'm particularly interested in signing up for 91F which is small arms/artillery repairer.
I'm assuming high. CCNA alone is not a walk in the park. And that's just of the things you learn there
I'm in the enlistment process, just want to know what should I bring and what to excpect especially with all thats is going on with the corona virus and such. Would help me alot!
What's your opinion on 25U?
I have a friend that is 25U
I am a 25 b most leaving Jan. 7 fort Benning basic training also. How bad is the basic training at fort Benning? Your videos are awesome!
Do they give textbooks or is it all PowerPoint
I’m an E5 transferring over to this mos trying to get ready for the training
Where in the video to you talk about certifications? I skipped through some the irrelevant information.
I’m headed to AIT in Fort Gordon in 2 days and I’m not sure if I’ll be able to have my phone and switch with me is it for sure that I’ll be able to have those items with me?
Any advice for someone going in as a 25S? I don't really know much about the mos and am unable to find any info regarding the training. Many blessings .
So if me and my spouse are doing the same job, we'll be in class together? Being able to help each other study? Also, what would be the hours for this job? And as far as a battle buddy, what if we wanted to hang out with our spouse?
What If I already have my entry lvl certs, A+ and Sec+, would I be able to work on higher certs like CCNA?
If you already have the certs then yes you can work on others. Not all certifications are offered at AIT but afterwords you can take certifications and get reimbursed by the Gov if you pass
I am going to 25B soon. Regarding the question above, does that mean I need to take the test again? And what do they do with people who already have certification? Thanks in adnvance for your respond
When you say test out, do you mean getting actually certified or just a military version of testing?
Military
Does this video also work with 25u?
