Going to RTC before your scheduled Shipping Date...

My son's ship out date is in July 2012. He is trying to get into RTC ASAP and his recruiter says that he is going to try to get him out by the end of December. I was wondering what the yearly schedule for A school for NF's are and do they start at a certain time of the year and then rotate through a fixed schedule.

My daughter was originally going to ship 06 Dec. ,then it was going to be sometime in May, she went 25 Oct. As far as A School start dates, they run several classes a year.

Nuke A School starts every week except the two weeks of Christmas Stand down. The second School they take is Power School and it starts every 8 weeks (except the Christmas break). Two or so years ago when my son entered he got an early in call and had just a few days notice to pack and leave. If an opening comes up and his recruiter gets a chance at it he'll get a call. I hope this helps and good luck.

Talk with the recruiter -- you can get earlier ship date -- do it.

Sooner is better.

Down the line -- after RTC -- needs of the Navy -- see previous posts.

The big delay after Power School was waiting for slots in prototype.

Best wishes
