We found out whether we were FC or ET a few days before graduation, when we got into BUPERS to look at our orders. A lot of people get to find out sooner, but I only had 6 weeks of actual boot camp, and we found out in week 5, right before our final PRT and test 3.

And as said above, NECs are specialties. As for FC, we all get a C school, so we all acquire an NEC right after A school (not sure about ETs, a lot of times they have multiple, shorter C schools) Some examples of FC NECs are SPY, FCS, Tomahawk, CIWS, etc.

FCs pick their NECs while in A school, or soon after. ETs get assigned through a dream sheet. At least, this is the way it is right now, it can change though.
