Congratulations on your sons graduation, my sons ATT started about 2 days after Boot camp and lasted about 4 months, with just a few days between ATT and A school. A school I think was about 8 months, he was on hold a little over 2 months after A school and his C school was a month long. He was able to come home for 2 weeks after C school and then had to report immediately to his ship, hope this helps.

My Son-in-law just started ET A-School. (Hooyah!) Here is how long it has taken him to get to this point:

• 2 Weeks on hold after Boot to start ATT
• 11 Weeks in ATT
• 1 Week on hold after ATT to start A-school
• And now he is expecting 19 weeks of ET A-school

He has been told that these times are 'typical' but I have nothing other than hearsay to back that up. He is getting 2 weeks of leave at Christmas; that is for sure! And I assume that he will get more leave after C-school before his first assignment but that is still down the road.

I hope this is helpful for everyone entering or anticipating ET school in the near future.
