Navy Pops "Cameron's Dad,
Our son is in A-school on test 6. He is one of 7 students out of the 120 students that got a C-school.
Welcome to the family. Our son was on hold in GL for two weeks before classing up. The school gave him an orientation the day he moved over to the Main base side from BC. This is where they will give him a text book to start studying. Everything they teach is read right out of the book, so tell him to read and remember. study study study is the key to success. They will do two pre class lectures on finance and a basic life saftey test, then class up. There are 12 test and several labs to pass before A-school graduation. 14 weeks for most after they begin class.
They must get 70% or above on tests or they fail and have to retake test. They are not allowed to fail more than two tests, so make sure he studies. The FMTB , FMF question is more difficult. All males are supposed to go to FMTB sometime after A-school. FMF is after FMTB if the sailor is going green with Marines, Not all will go green. Some classes all males go straight to FMTB, others go straight to fleet hospitals or C-schools. If your son had Algebra, Chemistry and some Science courses in High school or College and keeps his test average above 85%, then he stands a good chance to get advanced medical training in a C-school. Hope this helps .
