Artificial Intelligence Boot CampA new MOS: AI Operator.

The Veterans In Arms Artificial Intelligence Boot Camp (AIBC) transforms transitioning service members into capable AI operators in just 13 weeks. No tech background required—only discipline, curiosity, and willingness to learn. This is the next phase of your civilian mission.

Mission briefing

AIBC is a crash-course pipeline modeled after military training. In 13 weeks, you will move from “What is GPT?” to building functional tools—automations, workflows, web apps, and content systems—using real, production-grade AI tools.

Think of it as your new technical MOS. You will learn how to design, build, deploy, and operate AI-enabled systems that actually solve problems, not just chat in a browser tab.

Who this training is for

  • • Transitioning service members entering civilian work.
  • • Veterans wanting high-value, remote-friendly skills.
  • • Spouses supporting veteran households.
  • • Counselors & advocates who want AI-powered tools.

Your military experience is an asset. You already know how to learn fast under pressure and work within systems. AIBC helps you plug that mindset into modern AI tooling.
