How long is A+C school for ATF?
I mainly wanted to know because I would like to bring my wife if I stay over the 6 month waiver.

What program? It varies and isn't always in the same place... I've been out of basic for 5 months; still have about 14 months before I get to my final duty station.

You'll be over at Corry Station for more than six months. A-school alone is about 4, then depending on your C-school thats another 3-4 months. Plus any holding time in between you're looking at 9-10 months altogether. I knew plenty of guys that had their wives there.

Thank you so much!

You will be at Corry 9 to 11 months, A school being just about 4 months of class time. Oh and about the dependent situation, they won't pay for any family to move down here as you do not meet the 6 month requirement. Don't ask me why, but some reason when they do the orders they separate the A and C school so really it is seen as you being there for 4 months, a week or 2 of holding and then another 3 or 4 months even though you stay at the same location.
If you want to move your wife down here, get ready to do it on your own dime, and if you do and get orders to somewhere closer to where you DEP'd in than Pensacola, get ready to pay for the difference in distance. Also, right now all requests to live off base chits are being denied as of last month. |
this makes me curious, so if my wife and daughter are allowed to accompany me to Correy station, and then the chits to live off base are not being allowed, then how would that work?

That is correct, orders indicate whether you can bring your family down or not and for IT A and C School combined they do not approve your family to be moved down.
Now if you move your family down here yourself, they may start approving chits again for living off base, I was lucky and got mine approved before they decided to start denying them. |
This thread is +2 years old, but for the sake of updated information, per my Chief, my orders for "A" & "C" schools do state that they'll pay for my wife to relocate to Pensacola. I was worried because of what I read in this thread about "A" and "C" school being considered two separate sets of orders, but one of my mentor meetings was with him and I raised that issue. He elevated the question for me and the answer that came back with was that, yes, I can move her down when I get to Pensacola.
