Boot Camp info

Jazzy · 07-07-2013, 05:40 PM

I was informed that my boyfriend will be going into the Navy as an E3. Question is basically what's the difference when entering boot camp with the levels? When he graduates does that mean he will become an E4 then?

The only difference is how much he is paid and how long he has to wait before taking his E4 test.

Everyone is a Seaman Recruit in RTC... the only time you'll see a difference is at graduation when you wear your stripes.

He's considered a Seaman Recruit in RTC. Difference is in stripes and pay, and that E4 has a chevron and an eagle.

Depending on what his job will be(rate in the navy) some are automatic promote to E4 when they complete A school..others is time in rate, job performance and passing the test.

Do you know which rates get automatically promoted to E4?

Can someone tell me if a short sale will affect my security clearance?

I thought NUKE, ET/FC, etc. were automatically promoted to E3. If you want E4 you have to take the E4 exam.

^Nope, we get it automatically after completion of TIR and graduation of A school. If all goes well I'll get pinned the 16th of Sept 2014. The nukes from my div are already PO3s because of the way the split between A school and C school works. My first test will be for E5.

Are all CTs automatic E4s after A school?

jzhaun · 09-27-2013, 06:40 PM

If you're ATF/signed up for a 6 year contract then yes. All CTIs have to sign for 6 years, but I think some of the others have a choice.

Nope. CTNs I know for a fact are. 6y CTTs get it while their in school (their schooling is really long). Idk about CTMs and CTIs. CTRs don't get push button at all.

CTI's have the possibility of like two years of A School depending on their language. From what I can see though no push button for CTM and CTI.
