HeyMom,
If I'm right, your sailor will graduate with his group, then the duty stations will be posted a few days later. The top in the class will be first to pick their duty station, then those remaining in finishing order, at least that's what happened with my sailor during her school for Corpsman. Try to rest easy, no need to fret. come to the Navy for Moms FB page too for more support if you can. xoxo from one Navy Mom to another.

Did he graduate yet? If not, his duty station will be posted soon, usually 4 to 6 weeks before they graduate. My son knew where he was going but not when. He graduated and it was still a month before he left San Antonio (he leaves today for Italy - he will be a surg tech in the hospital in Naples.) It is frustrating, the not knowing, but it will all work out. If nothing else, the Navy will teach you patience! Hang in there and know that there are many of us who are sympathetic. Take Care -- Dani

Believe it or not, first assignment comes very late in C school, literally a week or two before they graduate. Their "choice" depends on where they rank in class. My son (at my begging) chose a clinic first so he spent two years in Groton, CT. He then was transferred to the Marines, went to FMTB school, and is presently in Afghanistan. I hope the best for you and your son. The one thing to get used to with the Navy is nothing is timely and you can't plan for anything. I am still having a hard time with that. I do laugh at myself now though how worried I was with him and his twin brother at Boot Camp. The worries get worse, believe me. Our one son just returned from an eight-month deployment in the Middle East on the USS Stennis. Now the long remaining seven months of our Corpsman in Afghanistan. Hang in there and we are always here for you.

Well let me know how you feel about this.
I got a call from my son and he is to graduate June12, there are 9 in this class. Yesterday they were informed that all there information for this c school was never put in the system. They were put in as general HM but they are not they are HM BHT. So the navy has to put them in a position for there c school learning which is behavioral tech.
These kids do not have a chance to pick there next step. The navy (person) who give the. Sailor next orders will give them as he feels fit to fill the position. So these sailors have no idea what or where they will be going. My son is very angry. I feel bad for all of them :( -

My daughter is in A school and will be graduating soon. Her c school is for Behavioral Health Tech. There is a month wait between her graduation and the beginning of C school. What does she do during that time? She also said that she was one of three picked for this in her class and she has a friend who graduates in the next class who also got BHT starting the same date as her so that makes 4 so far. I read here that one class had 9 in it? Is that a typical size C school class?
