Honor, Courage, Commitment. Our sailors are strong , smart, well-trained, and will come home safe. Don't Fear, Light a blue candle and pray, Mary.

Hi all, hope everyone is well.

Two year average for schooling is the norm for an FC, some might be a tad faster or longer depending on any holds and what C school they end up at.

For any that have sailors deployed in the Middle East, I am living in fear with you. With our son having six years behind him, we have lived thru a few deployments and this is the only one that has concerned me.. It is not cool, hearing/seeing our ships on the news. May they all remain safe and come home soon.

I am assuming that my daughter will text or call me if / when she starts ATT school.  Friends and Fam want to send small items.  Read where some of the sailors have started ATT this week but want to make sure I send stuff to correct address .   Ugh I know she is busy and tired but I won't send anythng until I know for sure.

There are so many stages of the training BC to C school plus all the holds in between ( Hurry up and wait) New Moms, Don't worry so much about how long each stage is, just think of it as 2 years of college.

She will keep the same location she is at right now through ATT, but once she is done, she will comp and move to another ship for A school.

Vanmom2013, Your SR will most likely move ships after ATT.

FCs are currently in night school from late afternoon/early evening until approx 11pm, and are the vampires on base, not the day walkers (what my son and his buddies called each other while in school). :)

They do try to house the  ATT, and A School students together by rating to not disturb each other. I understand MidRats is was the best meal of the day/night. :)

Thank you for the information.  Right now she is still in Indoc - will she physically move to a different mailing address once ATT starts or will she keep her current location?

@Vanmom2013: My Husband is finishing ATT this week, and he is an FC.  ATT for him was 10 weeks.

Good Morning All:  does anyone know how long is ATT?  Is it based on the specific time as in it lasts 4 weeks?  or is it based on how quickly the student learns the material?

All I can think of is that the total training for FCs is quite long.  It was two years before my daughter got on a ship. That is why she had to sign up for six years, orginally.
