I ship out 20140819. Do any of you guys know what to really expect as an IT?

Depends on where you end up Sea or Shore, and if your on a ship it depends on which type they you put on (Command ship, Amphib, Carrier, Small boy) and what division they put you in (ADP, Tech Control, Radio). I know only a little about what to expect on a ship, thanks to some friends, but not very much. Now if your on shore it all depends on where you go and what command your sent to (NCTAMS, NCTS, COMSUBGRU7, etc.). I can tell you if you get shore it's alright, some people like it more than others. Mostly if your on shore you'll be doing trouble calls fixing workstations, re-imaging hard drives and the like. If your lucky you'll be doing pier connectivity. Shore is also the time where you get your schooling done and get some serious volunteer hours. My personal opinion of the IT field is that it sucks, it is way to political and nothing they teach you in A school can be applied out in the fleet, it is an excellent opportunity to make rank though.

I wonder how hard A-school is.

A school is easy. Pay attention in class, read the book for an hour or so at night and you'll be golden. Most people don't do that much and still pass. I put in a whole lot more study time and came out of A school with a 94% average.

Well I hope you make it sound as easy as it sounds.
