My understanding from my MA buddies is that it's less common to get sent for that school right from A-school, and more common that people qualify at their command and then get sent.

Your best bet in that situation would be to get to your command and GET QUALIFIED to do your normal, day-to-day job. Once you're on good footing there, start talking to the guys over in the Kennel and volunteer some time learning about it. See what they'll let you get qualified in and after a while you can make a pretty strong case to your chain of command to get you that school.

The key thing here, like most things in the Navy, is QUALIFICATIONS. If it's not on paper and in your record then it doesn't mean shit. If you've got those PQS's signed though, a lot more doors will open for you.
