IOT Course Breakdown
Haven't been able to find anything about this other than hearsay. What is the breakdown of the new IOT course? Is it fact in yet? Has it gone to 8months?
Thanks for any advice, seems odd that the Cranwell www is still referring to it as the IOT of old - 24weeks.

Correct, IOTC number 1 started last November on the new 3 term system of 10 weeks per term.
Pop down to your local AFCO, as there is a new DVD and booklet "The Journey" (pub 458 ) out, updated in April 06 reflecting the new course structure.
Out of interest, SERE has also been updated, and the update for ROIT is underway.

/waits for comments of 'haha, you'll suck at IOT as you can't take criticism/banter/wet-towel whipping'
And back on topic Ninj43, tomorrow I will go find the afformentioned piece of paper and steal someone elses scanner so that you can have the IOT course breakdown.

''I was given a piece of paper with a breakdown of the course on my Fam visit in May, alas I have neither a scanner or the motivation to type it out 
''
You have to admit Stringy it was pretty careless for you to admit you've got no motivation for your up and coming FAM visit.

I do realise that I have a lot to learn during IOT, and that it will doubtlessly be one of the hardest things I will go through in my life. However, something that I will not let somebody do (on the internet of all places) is question unjustifiably my ability or potential to do a job well, given next to no knowledge about me.

Good luck on IOT Stringy, IMHO you've done the hard part by getting through OASC. IOT is designed for you to pass & teaches as opposed to chopping these days.
