INITIAL ENTRY TRAINING (IET) SOLDIERS: If you are
coming to Fort Benning for basic training or advanced individual
training (AIT), you will be taken to the Reception Station, Sand
Hill, Building 3020, where you will process through several
stations, prior to being assigned to your unit. If you are married
and are coming here for basic or AIT, remember this is a temporary
stopping place. Once you have completed training, you will receive
orders and most likely leave Fort Benning. It is not a good idea for
your family to move here with you. Until you are ready to make your
first move after completion of training, it is best not to uproot
the family. You will have a great deal on your mind, with a full
schedule, and you need to focus on training. Basic Combat Training
