And my last question, my contract says I am fts and I dont fully understand that so if you can please explain it that would be nicebut I read online that fc is not available for fts does that mean I will be an et?

If your FTS you'll be an ET. FTS ET's have really good advancement and you'll just be active duty with pay coming from the reserve pot. There is plenty of ET information on this site.

Are AECF ATT still 9-11 weeks and is FC/ET A-school still 31/42 weeks? That's a long A-school, seems longer than some nuclear guys.

As far as orders go you pick them like 2-4 weeks before you graduate. You'll get a list and you choose in order of your GPA. Your NEC is chosen for you, all you choose in the location you want and the ship. The FCs pick by location, ship, AND NEC but that's because they are usually on hold for a long time after finishing A school so they pick in groups of 80-100. ETs will pick with their class and possibly with the class ahead of or behind yours. Quote:
I graduated boot camp on June 6th of last year and graduated A school on February 13th of this year. That's almost 40 weeks not including holiday stand down and the first week of indoc. |

Can we get update on current AECF NEC orders and a little description of what the work is like. Whether it be ET or FC, I would like to know more current information about this type of work.
Also, what type of skills are transferrable (valuable) in the civilian sector and if offered $$$ can you let us know an idea of salary |

Are you absolutely positive that I'll be an ET.? My recruiter is still telling me that I could get either job and I'm not choosy but I'd still like to know.

If you want proof, go check out the Community Managers page for Surface CS/Ops: http://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-np...s/default.aspx Under FTS in the Surface Combat Systems section (ETs and FCs are both part of Combat Systems), you'll see the only community is ET-FTS. /r CTT1

Nuclear A-school really isn't long. Six months at most. But we have to do powerschool and prototype after which are around 9 and 6 months.
