School Difficulty

I didn't think it was very hard. Things have changed a bit since I went through 6 years ago but as long as you are somewhat smart you'll be okay. It's a lot of electrical and electronics theory. So it can be dry but it's important to know especially on advancement exams.

Do they teach you like the basics of the basics for those things? I consider myself relatively smart but I've never taken classes on either subjects before so my knowledge of them is pretty much zilch.

They'll teach you all the theory and how to calculate things. It's not hard. You just need to understand the concepts and they'll go through them in ATT school.

I learned electronics in high school, basic electrical theory is really easy and as long as you understand how to manipulate a formula and are able to memorize them you'll be fine. Not sure how the navy compares but I had no problems.

Sometimes it's better to go in knowing nothing because the navy wants you to do things the navy way, and unlearning things or modifying the way you do them can be hard.
