Orders for 63J Training

I just got orders to report for 63J10 training at Aberdeen MD on March 8. So the clock is ticking now for me to complete the seven modules that make up phase 1 of the training. I just returned from a business trip to Boston. I took the train and went through most of one of the modules on the way up and back. Here's a picture of the steam cleaner that is part of the latest module.

    Hey, just found your blog. Last year I enlisted in the Guard 25 years after leaving the Army (first enlisted in '80, ETS in '8).

    I'm not quite as old as you (45), and am slated to leave for Ft. Gordon in April.

    Keep writing - good to read about some other old guy's experience.

    Just ADT while at Gordon. My MOS is 25B (or will be anyway). My old MOS was 05G.

    I'm also working on my Warrant Officer packet.

    Lee,
    The two weeks was a lot of hands on training--not just classes. Problem for me was my unit does not have any of the equipment.
    Good 2 weeks
    Neil

    Hi guys...Well..I am 40 and just enlisted...Have a masters in acctg, worked 20 yrs as a research analyst on wall street both buy and sell side and just a bit tired of it.
    I was the last to go on a Friday for MEPS and the Cpt just said pick in 1 min or come back...so the old 63j (91j) showed up and the guy behind the desk said it's a good fit for going OCS and good promotion oppty.
    What exactly does a 91J do? Is there promotion oppty?
