A school for AECF

My concern is about the barracks, the sleeping arrangements you have a roommate who is similar to your age or is just random?

Cheers

It's random.
It's something you'll just have to get used to. On the ship, you'll live in a berthing compartment with 10-50 other sailors.

While in A school, you will live in a 4 person room. It will be on large room, 2 sets of beds, 4 desks and 4 closets. You will also have a vanity with 2 sinks, and a head to share with those 3 other people. Plus a kitchen table, mini fridge, microwave and a sink with a little counter space. They are pretty nice compared to some of the other barracks on base

Once you graduate, and move on to C school, it will vary based on what C school you choose.

Overall, it is not too bad, and you get used to it. If you have a problem with your roommate, (especially with cleaning) just talk to them. Don't let things fester, and be willing to communicate and compromise.

As a married person, I lived off base, but was still responsible for a rack and a room for my duty days. I ended up being responsible for cleaning a room I didn't live in. But it was a bit cleaner than others rooms, with one less person living there!

Bummer, it's because I am 31 and having roommates that are a few years younger then me properly will be quite unpleasant. Oh well, let's see how it goes.

When we enter A school, will we be told if we go to ET or FC or is that after A school?

You'll find out towards the end of boot camp if it's ET or FC.

Just wanted to update: ET's will no longer have dream sheets, we pick our orders based on GPA now.
