Length of A school varies from 6 months (Spanish) to 16 months (Arabic, Chinese, Korean). Not including classup time, which can be 2 or 3 more months on rare occasions.

I missed that my bad. I was going off your rating sheet but it seems to skip over ranking information all-together (at least the copy I could find).

The AECF sheet has this:

"Enlistees enter as E-1s (seaman recruits). Advancement to paygrade E-2 (seaman apprentice) will be made after successful completion of recruit training. Advancement to E-3 will be made after completion of all advancement-in-rate requirements (including minimum time and course work). Advancement to paygrade E-4 (petty officer third class) will be made after successful completion of initial school training and after all advancement-in-rate requirements (including minimum time and course work) are completed. Advancement to E-3 and E-4 is contingent upon maintaining eligibility in the Advanced Electronics / Computer Field program. Eligible personnel may be paid bonuses at the time of re-enlistment. All bonuses are in addition to Navy salary and allowances for food and housing."
