Everyone is a Seaman Recruit in RTC... the only time you'll see a difference is at graduation when you wear your stripes.

He's considered a Seaman Recruit in RTC. Difference is in stripes and pay, and that E4 has a chevron and an eagle.

Depending on what his job will be(rate in the navy) some are automatic promote to E4 when they complete A school..others is time in rate, job performance and passing the test.

Thanks everyone I understand a little better. His job is Advance Electronics. Of course he won't find out whether he's ET or FC until boot camp? I heard boot camp have gotten extended to 13 weeks is this true?

no boot camp is only 8 weeks. although it could happen that he gets held at RTC for a few weeks before he goes to his A School, if there aren't enough people in his rate to make up a full class at his A School or if for some reason he gets sent back in boot camp he could be there longer than 8 weeks. he could get sent back in boot camp if he gets injured or fails a PFA or fails one of the tests. assuming that none of that happens, he should only be at RTC for 8 weeks.

One thing guaranteed to never, ever stop is rumors about boot camp spread by those who haven't been yet.

Yes, if he's AECF he'll be assigned to ET or FC after boot camp, and go to the corresponding school. The choice is made for him, based on the needs of the Navy.

Nuke, SpecWar, Aircrew, IT, some CT, and most rates that have an Advanced Technical Field contract extension attached.
