It depends on what they volunteer for. Mine volunteered to work at the USO on base. He got to bake cookies and cupcakes. And where civilian clothes before anyone else. He loved it since he likes to cook. I am sure he still had to clean up after he was done cooking. LOL Since friend got to work at the museum helping restore a plane.

I mentioned to my son that if he volunteers it would get him out of cleaning and give him credit for something. He said if you volunteer 100 hours a year for like 3 years, you get a ribbon and it looks good on your record. It doesn't get you out of cleaning though. He said he'd volunteer every day if it did that!

Shannon, My son graduated from BC on March 9, 2012, and went to NAS at Pcola, just as navymom3 said. My son did not begin that basic electronics class until the end of May. He had an office job until then and also volunteered. He completed the electronics class around the first of July but had to wait until the end of August to go to Corry because the A school class filled up. The class roster was cut based on the alphabetical order of last names. Since his last name begins with a letter at the end of the alphabet he missed out on the class immediately following the introductory class. He began A school in August and graduated at the first of November. He is now on duty in Hawaii as a CTM.

Shannonlf my son is CTM. He is already done with school but was in Pcola about 9 months which included a c school. A CTM will first go to NAS Pcola for a pre class called ATT a basic electronics class. Once completed they will move to Corry for there actual A school class for CTM. There are usually a wait time before each class starts. Sometimes it is more than others. But they keep them busy while they wait. Normally cleaning and painting. Mine waited 6 weeks before his first class. Then 3 weeks before the CTM class and another 5 weeks before C school started. If they have an opportunity for volunteer work tell him to do it. They get credit for the hours and get out of cleaning. Good luck to your son. My son and his fiance love being a CTM. Yes they are both CTM.

@MissingMonkey, my SR will be going to Monterey, CA for A school. His PIR is 10/4. We are lucky to live about a 4 hour drive from there. He is also CTI.

We enjoyed our sailors A school graduation. I agree with Navymom3 very personable. They even served coffee and doughnuts. ;)
