I would say we spend anywhere from 4 days to 2 months at A-school before we start classes. One month is probably average. This isn't waiting for a "group" exactly - A-school operates on a rotating basis so the new people can't start until the most senior class in their assigned language graduates and then take their place (same teachers, classrooms etc). I'm not a CTT though, so your A-school may be different from mine.

Awesome, no that helps with my questions. Yea i guess I worded that wrong as far as the "group". Hopefully I don't have to wait for 2 months... that would suck.

Honestly, you do NOT want to be the guy who classes up after 4 days. It's a lot harder to get all your phase-up quals and inspections done when you're already in class, and then you can't go offbase/wear civvies/drink etc during the little free time you have.
