First of all, welcome to the 506th.
This post is to inform you guys what you can do in the unit while attending and waiting on AIT to finish:
-Attend trainings: As an AIT student, you are allowed to attend all trainings that you desire. The only limitations being if someone is self hosting a mission and can't hold more people, the training/mission is full, or you're trying to join a training that you're not authorized for.
-Get familiar with the forums and layouts. It is very important to be able to navigate your way around and keep yourself updated. Once you complete AIT, your Fire Team Thread, Squad Thread, and Platoon Thread or equivalents are very important for you to keep an eye on.
-Meet people. Introduce yourself or just sit around in a channel with a lot of people while they're talking and learn how the people around here are. In addition to being an ArmA Realism Unit, the 506th is also a gaming community and our members play other games together. Don't interrupt conversations and don't be annoying. You don't want to alienate yourself from others in the unit before even completing AIT.
Hope you guys enjoy your time here.
