15 J Help

[Yote555]

I will be swearing in on Wed. And will be going 15J. Question here is.....does anyone know where all the schools are for this MOS and about how long they will be? I was told that over all training for this mos is a year long. I have looked all over this forum trying to find any insight on this to no luck. So I am here now asking for some light on the manner. Anything would be great as I am prier navy 7 1/2 years and know nothing about the army :confused: Thank you :o

I have two soldiers at the 15J course right now. It is held at FT. Eustis. The BNCOC and ANCOC are held at FT. Rucker and if you are going 15J for a UAV the ASI is located at FT. Huachuca.

My guys reported May 22nd and have a grad Date of Nov 21, I believe is what their orders say. Now they both have been through 52D school and one has been through his U2 ASI for our Shadow systems. Both however say the course is interesting and not that bad, but again they are still brand new into it.

Good luck in whatever you do!

I love that link! I'm going to have to use that. I have done all the googling that can be done about it, I was just looking for some first hand input on what the job is like.

SGTHess, thanks! If you happen to talk to them some more, let me know what they say about it, if you don't mind. It seems pretty interesting from what i've read about it.
