Which rate/rating? The schools are different lengths, so you need to ask him specifically. AECF?
He will get orders while in A school. That could be to a C school, or to his first permanent duty station. Unless he needs to report to C school right away, he would be eligible to take a week to ten days of leave to go home for a visit. Sometimes they must wait until after C school for that. Then he goes to his new duty station. Chances are it will be a ship.

If he is an FC his A school will be 15 weeks followed by C school which is 4 to 8 months depending on what firearm he gets

My daughters is currently attending Boot Camp. Her Rate is AECF. From what I understand she will attend A School in GL. She said she will get one of two jobs. she will either be an ET or FC. How long is each of these A School and do both have a C School. If so where is this and for how long?

First she will go ATt, which is nine weeks, them 11 or 13 weeks of A school. There are almost always hold times waiting to class up, so she may be there for nearly a year.
Neither rating has C school in Great Lakes. ET C schools vary in length and location so much you can't begin to list them, but San Diego and Norfolk are common. Mine was 6 months in GA. FCs have C schools in VA and CA, and depend on which weapons system is taught.
