E-2 out of bootcamp?

[prop827]

To my knowledge (looks like craig has the official version) you will get E2 upon reporting to A School (from the guys I knew who are AECF). For automatic advancement beyond that, it isn't totally automatic. You need to pass all of your schooling sufficiently, have a good eval at the end of training (ie, no LOI's or Disciplinary/academic boards), not have gone to NJP or courts martial at all, and you must pass your PFA both to graduate boot camp and the next official one you take. The next official PFA is the most common reason for being denied automatic advancement.

Im confused, everyone keeps saying A school, don't we report to tech school first? or is that the same thing?

Each rate is different, the vast majority start with A school then any technical (or C Schools) come later. Your rate may be different, I don't know much about AECF, but I do know about the auto advancement rules.

What you guys need to realize is that when you graduate boot camp, most likely you will not be wearing the e-2 stripe. You will get it within the 1st two weeks when you get to your "A" school. And yes, they will back pay you from the time you graduate boot camp. So don't worry about it, it's just a paperwork drill, you will get it....

This is not correct. You do not need to pass a PFA prior to getting frocked. You also do not get an eval during A or C school unless your C school is a specific time and that's only to take the advancement exam. You will go to ATT first, then A school then C school.
