(Infantry, Military Police, Combat Engineer) However, the location where a recruit is sent for Advanced Individual Training depends on his or her chosen Military Occupational Specialty, or MOS, which is selected upon enlistment. Recruits requiring air transportation to their training locations are flown via commercial flight at the U.S. Army's expense.
