C school is in pensacola, you will study administation on the server/network level. you will recieve a total of 6 civilian certifications from microsoft, A+, Sec+, GREAT in the civilian world as well.

Do 6y

Good luck!

Granted IT advancement was 75% for IT3 last year so theres no way you don't at least pick up third by your two year mark, unless you really dont deserve it. And if you get in the top two spots in your class you can pick up third anyhow. Not to mention its very possible that you'll end up getting C-school even if you don't do ATF, which is happening to me.
