Classing up after a-school? NUC questions

classified9 · 04-28-2014, 06:10 AM

Hey gang,

Getting closer to my ship date and couldn't be more excited. I just have random questions pop in my noggin.

I am hearing that in the NF pipeline there isn't an immediate jump from a-school to PowerSchool, and from PowerSchool to prototype.

What do you do when you have to wait for several months for this?

Thanks

I think there was a question about this a while back, pretty much I've heard you do chores.. Drive the duty van.. Field day. Whatever they can give us to fill our time I guess.

What I've gathered from my buddies in the Nuke field is this... you'll have T-Track between A School and Power, and then Grad Hold between Power and Prototype. You cover a variety of watches and duties, and do some occasional cleaning. Everyone I know seems to have been in each phase for a few months.

No prob! As for T-Track... it's just what they called being on hold between A School and Power School. One of my friends just started Grad Hold while she waits to transfer commands for Prototype... it sounds like the jobs and watches you do in Grad Hold differ from T-Track... T-Track is more like student hold and cleaning, whereas Grad Hold is more like temp duty and admin work.
