When will my SR get his Orders for A-School?
Question....my son wrote to me asking me to try and find out what day in Boot Camp they get their orders? I'm assuming he means his orders for A-School? We already know he's going to Pensacola so I'm wondering what he's asking....I'm thinking he means when he's flying out? Anyone know what he might be asking and know if there is a certain day # in Boot Camp when they find this out?

Ty'sMom1823 - my sailor, already in P'cola, got his orders way early because he's undesignated. So it depends on his rate, I think.

If he's asking when he find out his flight plans, etc. to A school, it should be sometime within those last few days of boot camp, maybe a little sooner. Otherwise, they most generally get their orders about halfway through A school or so. After they fill out their "dream sheet". I'm sure there are exceptions to this, as willsmom stated.

You mention that your SR will be going to "A" School in Pensacola; you will want to join Sailors at Corry Station holding or in school and Sailors In Pensacola, FL For A School....Corry Station too!!. What is his rating (job/specialty) goin to be? There are groups for many of the ratings with "A" School in Pensacola.
As has been said, he will receive his orders and flight itinerary a few days before PIR. If he will be an Undesignated Airman, then he will get his orders to his first duty station about week 5 DOT (more or less) and will have training in Pensacola, but not "A" School.
