One thing I forgot to ever post here was how long the ACTUAL time to be expected at training..

Yes, A school is only 3 months long. But when you arrive at Goose Creek, most times you will have to wait to class up. They only have the MM's in this A school class and it needs to be full before they start, so if you arrive just after a class has alredy started, you will be waiting!

Then you move on to Power school, this class is 6 months long. But before you can take it, you must first pass the Petty Officer class, it is easy but about a week long. THEN once again you must wait to class up, as in this class you will be intergrated with the EM's and ET's. Sometimes this wait time can be way more than a month, but hey, you will have time to go off base and see the sites of South Carolina!

Then you move on to Prototype school, you will have a choice of which one to go to, stay in Goose Creek or go north to the other one. The wait time for this can be a very long one. Most times due to the fact they can only have so many in the class at a time, and many times they are taking the reactors down for refueling on one or the other making it only one school available.

So plan on being there about 2 years or more if you choose this rate! One other thing, you really dont know your actual rate until you get mostly through bootcamp...you MAY be given a choice of which one you want, but the needs of the navy come first and if they need more EM's and ET's..that is what you will be getting! Sorry if your recruiter never told you this part!!! But who knows, you may be lucky and get the one you wanted and not much wait time...

Yes..why..you know him? If so, he is home now and has a GREAT job! He is working at the local power plant making more than he did in the Navy, and in less than a month was promoted up to the next level!

When I lived out in San Diego, I hung out with him a couple of times. I actually hung out with a few of the NUKE's on the Nimitz. Tubig, Blank, and Solon(who was my old roommate.)
