First off, I'd like to say congrats to your son on getting the HM rating (it's not easy so I've been told!). From my understanding, he will be graduating from BC as a Hospitalman and from there he goes to A-School in San Antonio, Tx. All HM goes to A-School. C-School on the other hand is an advanced training school and goes beyond the basics they teach you in A-School. Not everyone goes to C-School however. Hope that helps!
