DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Where is he now...is he in A school, Boot Camp? What is his rating (job)?

Undesignated is a contract. Just doesn't include an A school for a rate. And he can't go back and get one now ... he can apply for an A school after 12 months.

He can apply for an "A" School after he is at his first command for 12 months, which is after any and all training. The 12 months so the command can benfit from the person being on board for 12 months, also gives them the time to retake their ASVAB if they want to. Also the 12 months is just a timeline, that is when they can put in the paper work to request a school. There is a high chance the school isn't open, of that if there is a seat in the school, they could have to wait up to another 12 months before they even get into the school. LOTS of things can change. Also if your son is trying to get back into BUD's (as that is the only program that has a Hell week) he has to wait at least 24 months, unless they gave him a waiver while he was going over his drop paper work stating he could get back in after 12 months.
