FC C School information.

A school is really easy. Never studied outside of class, and ended second in my class. Its mostly common sense stuff for the first month or so, and then just do the lessons and pay attention during lectures, and you should be fine. Just try to use your class time for class instead of socializing, and you should't have to devote much time outside of school to study.

Its did not seem as fast paced as ATT, but that may have been because a lot of the material now had a frame of reference for me, from ATT. But, it is really really boring. Only 4 labs throughout the entire course, and they are each about 3 days long.

C school is so much better, as far as class goes. We basically learn how to use the pubs. And then we apply it with our specific equipment with labs almost daily. But, we do build on what we learned at A school/ATT. You don't have to remember a lot of specifics, but understanding/remembering the concepts is important.

I heard RADAR 1 and RADAR 2 were pretty hard?

Not for me or anyone else in my class. No one failed any of the labs. As long as you pay attention during the practices, you will be fine. Don't rely on your partner to know everything, and make an effort to do as many practices as you can. I actually ended up with a fault that I already had in practice on my Radar 1 PT, so the more you do, the higher that chance is!

The labs are the best part of A school as long as you pay attention to what the instructors expect from you, as is true in the rest of A school as well as C school.

hows it going. im in C school now as a fcs milspec tech. C school will more laid back but more tecnical. as far as A school. study study study. as you go through school you will learn more about your rate as well as options. you will pick orders based on youe class standings of about 80 people. open learning is avalible so take advantage of it!!!!!!!!!!! stay out of trouble but have fun in great lakes. theres a lot to do there. good luck and remember you pick orders and based one your GPA. you will pick with 3-5 classes. so the best GPA to the worst GPA out of all 3-5 classes
