OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
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."

Ratings, A School Locations, and Links to Groups
Attached is a table (in Excel format) that shows the different locations for "A" School and the Ratings at them. It also gives different groups by name that are associated with them. Please let me know if I need to add a group for a rating and/or location or if I have not indicated the correct information about training.
(Click HERE to go to the Attachment.)
(Table updated 11/29/2019.)
I know there is another way to post it so that it shows, but I haven't figured it out. Click on the Attachment and then you can click on the links you are interested in.
Although I try to keep the table current, I suggest that you double-check within the group for your Sailor's "A" School or rating to be sure that the info is still accurate. If you find an error, please let me know so that I can correct it. Thank you.
_________________________
Another site you may want to look at to get information on the different ratings is Navy COOL (Credentialing Opportunities On-Line), an official Navy site. The site has updated Rating Information Cards for each of the ratings. Go to https://www.cool.navy.mil/usn/index.htm and then click on Enlisted Search in the middle of the page. You can then select a Rating in the top drop down box and click Go. I have added the links for each rating in the table above. I noticed that some ratings have Apprentice Technical Training (ATT) at GL after PIR and that is not included in the Navy COOL links, but I have included that info in the table when I know about it.

Hey, you're doing a great job of stepping up and volunteering your time. Thank you! If I can help untangle all the info, just holler.

Anti M,
I think Groton is where everyone goes for sub training - some are nukes others are sonar, etc.
Scratching head..... maybe Mark in the nuke and sub moms group can help. Lemon, just ask him - he is our technical guru ..
another thing, I am going to ask the N4M admins if there is any way I can switch the creator of the discussion (GROUPS LISTED BY RATING) to YOU - so that you can edit the info. I think it would be beneficial to have my table and your table in the body of the discussion, so we don't have to open up yet another link. The more links to open the more newbies get confused.

My nephew is a nuke on a sub, he says the sailors who go through nuke school don't go through any training at Groton at all. He went straight to his boat out of prototype, although I would have thought he'd have some type of orientation. He says not. EM. So I based my reply on his experience.

Maybe it has changed or it may be different for officers. My son went to Sub training for 3 months after prototype - I had assumed all nuke who are going on sub go to Groton after prototype (officers and enlisted).

I think it is different for officers, which fits in with what I've heard from the nephew.
His boat is out of Groton, it was deployed at the time, but he was able to go right out to it because he had a passport in hand, while the others had to wait for the Navy to catch up their travel documents. He called me before he left so it stuck with me.
Would be good to know for sure, yeah.

Does anyone know where ATF-IT rate goes? My son said he will be going to GL for 14 weeks, but other IT recruites he met in DEP said they were going to Pensacola, FL. Confused. Please help

Looks like P-cola. There's a group on here for the IT rate, do you need help finding it?

Proud Navy - Where you're getting confused is you are adding ATF to the rating IT. ATF only means "Advance Techinical Field'. From now on, only say "IT".
After boot camp your son will be sent to Corry Station, Pensacola. This is a small base about 5 miles from Naval Air Station Pensacola. Since he is on the same base at the CT ratings, you might want to see this video I made for that N4M's group. Here it is:

If you click on the Attachment as directed above, you will find groups for the A School at lines 114, 115, and 116 and for that rating at lines 129, 130 and 131. Here they are in case the link does not open for you for some reason:
Sailors In Pensacola, FL For A School....Corry Station too!!, Parents of A School Sailors in Pensacola, Spouses of Sailors going to A-school in P-cola, Air Traffic Controller Moms, Airman Family and Friends, and Naval Aviation.
The link for the Fact Sheet on AC is http://www.cnrc.navy.mil/Graphic-Elements/Rating-Factsheets/AC-Air-....
(Group names and the link within this reply are clickable links.)
