I'm prior service Army (68W), NG to AD for 18X . In my packet I got SOPC, as well as BAC and Infantry school. When you go to MEPs and sit with the counselor they will be able to tell you exactly what is in your contract. If you are not Infantry there is a good chance you'll get this as well. On the contract it says the whole 15 week BCT/Infantry OSUT, They have to put that down, from what every one tells me is when you get to Benning and they see your PS and an 18X they have you do the last 4-5 weeks simply for the Infantry. I hope it will be that way, but if not an extra 10 weeks to get in shape mentally and physically. If you haven't gone to MEPs yet I would hurry, cause the 18X slots are going fast. I got mine in November 2011 and I got one of the last slots for fiscal year 2012, and it had only been open for 6 weeks. Then again MEPs and the Army literally changes everyday. Mind you going to MEPs soon does not mean you'll ship fast. I've been waiting for a little over 6 months, which I hear is pretty standard. Good luck to you.
