RC to AC program in A school

Your contract will no doubt have you going to Corry Station for IT A school. But the RC to AC will not be in your contract. They are calling it a “program” but it’s hardly that. It’s more like an option you can try. Some folks I’ve know that have tried were never able to. The problem is that there are limited slots available and hundreds of people trying to fill them. That’s not to say it’s impossible - just highly improbable. Junior enlisted sailors are at the bottom of the list for these kinds of options. Unless you’re in a critical rate the odds are bad. Really bad. Being an IT, you’ll be in some sort of secret squirrel unit, probably. Even on the reserve side they have a specific mission. Mobs for spooks are a little different than mobs for the rest of us, but you’ll have options.
Your recruiters have quotas. They have a certain amount of AC, and a certain amount of RC they need to recruit per month. Sounds like you’re a victim of quotas. But you still have a ton of flexibility in the reserve. After the initial shock of going from A school to a reserve unit you’ll love it.
