My son is in Div 042. How do you know what A school your SR will attend? Probably from your SR. Mine is noncommunicado at this time....

What A school they attend depends on their contract. Some go in as undesignated, but most go in with a (designated) rating. A-school will train them for their rating. C school will further the training if it is required for the rating. Where they are placed/what they choose depends on ASVAB scores. The higher the score, the more choices there are. My son had the pick of ratings except for anything mechanical.

RG/socal is right - depends on their contract. We have known since July what A school my son was headed to. His A school is to start on Jan 6th. He will be headed to San Antonio. Did your SR have paperwork when he/she first enlisted?

He didn't want to sign until he knew for sure that he got what he wanted. He even waited until after the background/security check was done. That was in June/July.

I am not sure now if my son is going to A school in Pensacola or just a 3week training. I was looking at his papers and it says PACT Airman. Doesnt this mean Undesignated? He has said all along that he is going to A school after graduation. I am just concerned that he will stationed in Japan or somewhere way off that we will not be able to visit or talk often.

I just got my first real phone call! No matter if it is like the middle of the night for me (working night shift)... it was so good to hear my son's voice. he sounded upbeat. I would have asked his a bit about his division, but the connection was the WORST I have ever had! He did tell me he is happy, but he said he almost cried in frustration that I could barely hear him.
