Isn't ATT school our "A" School (for us AECF's)? The way I'm reading the fact sheet it seems that ATT is 9 weeks, the there is the FC Strand at 12 weeks and ET Strand at 17 weeks. Do all AECF's go through both FC and ET Strands? I was under the impression that after ATT the class basically splits off and FC's go one way and ET's go the other.

Again, I don't know the specifics of AECF, but for any automatic advancement you DO need to pass your PFA. That's why if you're in a program that has auto E4, they often call the official PFA the "dash for cash". Also, frocking is only for first classes and chiefs, until then you will not be frocked (in so far as automatic promotion is concerned). With auto advancement you get your crows pinned on and you get E4 pay almost immediately. When you're frocked, you wear the anchor or crow but you don't get paid for around 6 months from the time you are frocked.

No, ATT is just like a pre requisite to get to "A" school. So it goes ATT then 'A' school, which is rate specific, then 'C' school which isnt going to be at Great Lakes unless youre an IC. But as far as ET or FC you'll be going to most likely either San Diego or Virginia for C school

Oh okay. Good to get that cleared up. Do you know if there is a fact sheet out there that shows this AECF Pipeline? I asked my recruiter and he said he doesn't have one.
