  As far as C-Schools go, MM's are the only ones who really get a C-School right away. They can apply for Engineering Laboratory Technician (ELT) School during prototype. If they get selected, they will spend an additional 13 weeks at Prototype qualifying as an ELT. (I actually got "volun-told" to go to ELT school, meaning I got selected without applying.) Submarine designated MM's can also apply for nuclear welder training which they will attend en-route to their first boat. Don't remember how long it is off the top of my head, but I want to say 8 weeks and it is in Groton, CT.

  ET's will have their opportunity to get a C-School once they are in the Fleet and qualified through Reactor Operator.

  There are various other schools (ranging from one wee to a month or 2) that are not "C-Schools" that are available for all rates once they are on a boat. These schools are specific to types of equipment and classes of ships.

  Correction to EM/ET A-School and weld school time. Both EM and ET A-Schools are 24 weeks now. Weld school for selected MM's is 13 weeks.

  I might be a little prejudiced, but MM is the way to go.
