everyone enters boot camp as an E-1, but they graduate as E-2 or E-3.  Pay increases happen with promotion...they have to quality and there has to be a billet available.  Just because they go through A-school or C-school does not mean they get a pay increase.

Thanks for the feedback! I was curious because not very many Navy recruits go to C camp training.
I was also assuming that pay, rate, and promotion were the same thing?

it does get confusing...."rate" is rank and "rating" is job classification.  Pay is a function of what rate they are.  And B TW, you can see what the rate structure is at this link: http://www.navydads.com/forum/topics/navy-enlisted-rates

In the Career planning group I think I have a post somewhere as to what pay is for 2012 and what uniform costs are as well- but I haven't updated that recently.

To re-ask the question differently (hopefully, more correctly): What would rate be typically after achieving Navy Enlisted Classification RP-2401 Marine Basic Combat Skills Specialist for my son assuming E-2 after basic and going through A Class in MS?

believe typical time to E3 is 9 months (http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/enlisted/community/administra...)

Career Path After Recruit Training

Enlistees are taught the fundamentals of this rating through on-the-job training or formal Navy schooling. Advanced technical and operational training is required in this rating during later stages of career development.

Class "A" school is in Meridian, MS 40 Days, basic skills required in the rating.

Class "C" school Marine combat training school in Camp Lejune, NC. 5 weeks of basic Marine combat skills.

Thanks Paul for the feedback and resources. I was only thinking that my son would have additional skills on the job after C camp that most Navy does not require and wondering if that would gain him anything extra as the camp is 'above and beyond' what most others would have - yet maybe it's just his 'required' training?

careful with that assumption....there are ratings where A-school alone is more than 18 months long..........

I think my son will enjoy the Marine Martial Arts training as he has been in martial arts, MMA, and cage fighting since he was 15. How will he be able continue any martial arts rank training after basic?
