I just considered it good practice for the Navy..

I can only speak for Pensacola's Aviation schools, so I'm not sure how other A-Schools are run. If your expected to be waiting for awhile, in Pensacola we were able to become barracks yeoman or duty section leaders. As a Yeoman we assisted the Barrack's Petty Officers (aka Military Training Instructors) with answering phones, taking care of paperwork, and being first line of support for students in the barracks. If you were a duty section leader, you took care of the watch bill and generally lead the cleaning evolutions and ensured the students in your duty section mustered and made it to their watches.
