Driving After AIT?

Phase IV (weeks 1 through 3 of AIT or weeks 10 through 13 of OSUT). Off-post day passes on weekends (Saturday and Sunday) may be authorized. IET soldiers must remain within a 50-mile radius of the post and all passes must end NLT 2200 hours. IET soldiers will wear the proper military uniform while on pass (includes off-post passes). IET soldiers are prohibited from driving POVs. If of legal age, they may be authorized to consume alcoholic beverages while on pass. IET soldiers are prohibited from using tobacco products.

Phase V (weeks 4 through 9 of AIT or weeks 14 through 19 of OSUT). The first off-post pass will be a day pass only. All others may be off-post and overnight passes on weekends. Distance limitations will be imposed by local commanders; however, all passes must end NLT 2200 hours Sunday (or 8 hours prior to the next training day, whichever is earlier). If of legal age, they may be authorized to consume alcoholic beverages while on pass. IET soldiers are prohibited from using tobacco products or driving POVs. Uniform for off-post passes is left to the Commander's discretion.
