He likes it, he's just ready to get started with his training. He's from Houston so the temp/humidity don't bother him too much. Pensacola's a beautiful area.

Pretty much what I understood, thanks. How is Kyle liking it down there. I guess it rains all the time. Better than the 110's + here

I found this answer online about A School/C School, makes it a little clearer.
A School is general training for your rating. C School is more specialized training in a particular area within your rating, or a particular piece of equipment. You should probably get a NEC (Navy Enlisted Classification) when you complete C School. I'm not familiar with the IT rating, so I don't know how many different C Schools there are for IT (we had RM and DP, which combined later to form IT).

Typically, to go to C School, you need to give something to the Navy. If you go right after A School, you will probably be asked to extend for 1 year. You can also get a C School as part of their re-enlistment. Either way, they are not going to give it to you for nothing. They want something for their investment.

C school is either later or right after. If they do real good they may go there, or if they sign up for another year I think. I can be wrong

Ok, explain C school to me? I thought after A school they joined the fleet?

Kyle is not sure where he will be in Phase 3. He could be finished with A school as early as Oct or months later, depending on when they start him. We decided to sell his car and let him use the money to buy a newer one (it's an old Honda).

Car will usually be allowed in phase 3, depending on his/her superiors, my son got his truck soon as he got phased up to 3.

He is now at NAS Whibdey Island for C school on EA6B prowers, which starts in October!! For now he's attached to VAQ 140 patriots just so he has a place to go
