<p>Unless he is entering the Navy as an E-3, then he will advance in rate (pay grade) based on time in service. He will advance from E-1 (SR) to E-2 (SA) after 9 months, if he did not advance in BC and he doesn't mess up. He will advance from E-2 (SA) to E-3 (SN) after 9 months as an E-2 if he doesn't mess up. He must have 6 months as an E-3 before he is eligible to strike for a rating and take the E-4 (PO3) exam. His pay will also increase based on his time in service.</p>

<p>I'm posting to an old post (dated 4/28/11) but I am wondering how your son's experience was, as my son is also going in undesignated in an apprenticeship program as well. You summed up my feelings, I just want him to have a great experience when he leaves. Thank you, Anxious SR Mom </p>

I agree with ET3 here. I saw undesignated striking to become hospital corpsmen. When you are undesignated... You never know what may come open and when. You also have to have a lot of support from your command that is willing to give you up and basically loose you. They took my A school away from me in bootcamp because of a MEPS mistake. I had to fight to get another A school. Of course mind you this was in 1988 when they would take almost anyone in the Navy. It isn't that way now.
