After "A" school, ENs may be assigned "C" School for a specific diesel mechanic course for advanced training prior to being assigned to ships, naval shipyards or naval repair facilities afloat or ashore in the United States or overseas. Upon completion of first fleet tour, ENs may be assigned to a "C" school for a specific diesel mechanic course for advanced training. In a 20-year period, ENs spend about 65 percent of their time assigned to fleet units and 35 percent to shore stations.

 tusol95(SHIP09/DIV135 - He'll be on a ship - wherever the NAVY NEEDS him!!!.....Enginemen (ENs) operate, service and repair internal combustion engines used to power some of the Navy's ships and most of the Navy's small craft. Most enginemen work with diesel engines. Enginemen also operate and maintain electrohydraulic controllable pitch propeller systems and steering engines, refrigeration and air conditioning systems, air compressors, desalinization plants and small auxiliary boilers. Enginemen perform their duties in surface ships.

Also, each rating might have a special fun ceremony when someone gets frocked. When I was in (granted, that was many years ago!) everyone got frocked around the same time because the tests for advancement only happened around twice a year and everyone found out at the same time.
