AECF Depper, question about A/C schools.

Yes you will still be paid.
You may have a while between A and C school, or you may just have the weekend between them; it just depends on the timing of your class and when the next C school class is due to start.

for what I have seen before I thought I was going to stay at great lakes for a school and fc school(c school?) which would total ~30 weeks so i was expecting my wife to come stay with me is that going to affect it?

You will be in GL for ATT and A school, and then go somewhere either VA or CA for C school. Your spouse can still live with you in GL for ATT and A school.

She may or may not be able to come with you to C school, depending on which NEC you choose (it must be long enough). The ones I can think of off the top of my head that she will not come are FCS COTS, tomahawk, ssds, probably a few more...

If you pick one of those out of A school, you will have follow on orders to a ship. If you do not pick one of those, like me for SPY, then you will pick orders for your ship while in C school.

My husband lived with me in GL and now lives here with me in Dahlgren for C school.

So my wife would just stay in GL until i get to my first actual base/ship? Well unless its on our own dime?

If she is not on your orders for C school, then yes. I knew of someone who got FCS COTS (C school in Dahlgren, VA) and orders to a ship in San Diego. He left in August to go to VA for school, and his wife moved to CA in October, and he will be there in December. But she could have waited until DEC to get there when he did.

She waited to move because they already got their Dislocation Allowance for FY 2013, so they waited until FY 2014 to move. However, they were originally from CA, so they had family there to help with the transition.

The Navy did pay to move them to CA, but I am not sure if they had to shell it out first (DITY move), and then get reimbursed, or if they Navy just paid for it (gov't move)

As for ATT, I believe for FCs, I think it is 10 weeks. I know it is longer for ETs, maybe 11 weeks. Just depends on what you get assigned at bootcamp.
