UPDATE: He is an AN, an undesignated Airman. He will be in Fla for about a month then a little time off then he goes to the USS IKE. He will get a chance to see it all and just pick what he wants. This is what his career counselor told him supposedly.

My son is in Pensacola, he is an AO (Aviation Ordananceman) His A school is only 22 "working days". The problem is the Navy is so backed up it sometimes takes a month or longer to get started. They told my Son (Who's PIR was on 30September) that he would be done with A school on 02November. He is now just getting started in school. So he has been pretty bored. They do assign them to watch, cleaning, Etc. But he is ready to start school, get his orders, and join the fleet. He is tired of waiting. I told him that he needs to get used to "Hurry up and wait" Lol
