our schooling is for a little over 16 weeks. but once you get here you will not start classes right away, for me i had to wait a month before i started but i have seen people come in and start after about 2 weeks. Before you start classes you will be stuck doing boring work (escorting civilians around the secured compounds, cleaning, painting, raking leaves) and going through about a week of training. Corry station is currently one of the worst bases to be on since December but coming right out of boot camp you wont even notice and by the time you get here they might have even switched the liberty policy back. You will have 2 interviews at boot camp 1 in the beginning and one more towards the end, if you continue with this rate you will be interviewed a lot and there will be even a couple polygraphs. Just tell the truth about everything even if your recruiter told you to lie about it because he does not take into account the fact that you will have a top secret clearance and they will find out everything eventually. You might have heard about dream sheets and being able to pick your orders by how you rank in the class but that is not true, the navy will send you wherever. Right out of A school you not leave the U.S. You have about a 50/50 chance of going on a ship but the most common places are Ft. Meade Maryland, Norfolk Virginia, Georgia, San Antonio Texas, San Diego California, Hawaii, and Colorado. Hope this helps and you picked a great rate by the way. Good Luck.
