Oops, forgot to add that what the short school is for is to prepare them further to go out into the fleet.

Then no she does not have an "A" school.
Undesignated Sailors do not have a rating-occupational speciality (job) to train for, so they go to a 2-3 week school following BC. They usually get some Leave following this school.
PACT -is Professional Apprenticeship Career Tracks. So she will be apprenticing within the Airman field. The jobs she will perform will usually be within this field...but not always. Needs of the Navy.
Here is a link to a post about PACT:

Thanks everyone for your responses. I didn't know what to expect for the holiday for him. Well he should have phased up by the time Christmas rolls around. Does that mean we could spend time with him then, maybe at a hotel or rental home?

My daughter is going to Pensacola for 3 weeks aviation school after Basic? We had thought about going down to see her for Thanksgiving. I read about the Phases during A school but is this technically A school since she will just be there 3 weeks? She is basically undeclared I am assuming? Sorry, very new to all of this.

Yes, peejinator. They cannot leave the base until they phase up which takes 2-3 weeks. They will find this out when they arrive on that base, but I don't believe they will be allowed to leave base this soon. You can check on the N4Moms group for your A School and ask the ladies on there if anyone knows. Please let us know if you find out differently!

heyma313, I see you have joined the MC group. They are in a better position to tell you what will be going on at Ft Meade.
Since your Sailor will not have "phased up", he won't be leaving the base. He probably won't have qualified as a watch stander either, so most likely he will have the entire day off.
Poking around the Ft Meade website (http://www.ftmeade.army.mil/) I saw a calendar of events that included "Thanksgiving At Club Meade". A holiday dinner and activities I would guess?

So they will still have to stay on base even if they have the holiday off? I was planning to fly to SC to see my sailor during that time?
