Jodie- it is my understanding that ATT school is 11 weeks followed by 19 weeks of "A" school. There is also " holding" time, waiting for class to start. My daughter graduated 12/31 and is still on hold. ( I'm told expect for her to be there about a year) bootcamp has the largest amount of recruits June- October so there tends to be a back up of sailors waiting for their classes.

So do they get held at GL or do they get to come home? I think when they told him nine weeks he thought they said A school not ATT. ATT makes more sense with the timeline.

My son took (given) ET. He stayed in bachelor dorm on hold for about 6 weeks while paperwork done for his wife & kids to move up. He graduated rtc 8/27/2010. Wait for ATT class was about 2--3 mo which they hate. Then A school there for 40-42 weeks. Then they are sent to their bases for ships. Mine sent to FL got 2 weeks off to go see family & find house & then promptly left in night (much easier on him & yall) to Norfolk VA for 2.5 months of C school. Those can be all over so u won't follow that. Then back to base & deployment. Some guys went straight on to ships. It is always the Needs/wants of the navy. He was #1 in all his classes. My best advise, start the paperwork for yall to move to base at Great Lakes as soon as he can. Good luck
