Great info Craig, but when it says the 11 days of A school that only some recruits attend. What are the circumstances on why only some go?

That's probably AWAT and Firefighting... they teach you basics about tools, MSDS, corrosion, and other stuff. Firefighting is like bootcamp, only you're putting out an airplane fire on a flightdeck instead of spraying water in a compartment.

Is there a way we can request that? How would I get into that?

Everyone goes through Firefighting after INDOC... AWAT will depend on your school curriculum.

Yes... your first week at NAS Pensacola will be INDOC (Indoctrination), where you'll get briefs, briefs, SAPR, briefs, SAPR, and more briefs. The week after you'll do one or two days or Firefighting. I'm not sure how long it is... I didn't do it.
