Questions about AEFC
Hi kforbes,
Craig M referred me to you, (Thanks Craig M!)concerning some questions I have about AECF. My 17 year old who is a Senior in HS this year, was just sworn into the Navy Tuesday! We are very excited for her, and she is excited as well. She took her ASVAB test on Monday, the physical Tuesday. I think due to her ASVAB score she was led to chose for her career the AECF. So, my questions to you are: as a young women, is this a good direction for her?? Honestly kforbes, not sure if you're male or female, but either way, you input would appreciated. Obviously as a parent we want her to go in the right direction and into something she will not only enjoy but excel at. Thank you kforbes! Thomas |

I can definitely answer a lot of your questions. By the way I'm female. To answer your first question, is it a good direction. Well that all depends on what she likes to do. If she's very handy, likes to fix stuff and is into technology I would say yes. ET's generally are considered the "Everything Tech" and they fix a lot of stuff from computers to radar on ships. We are well trained in electronics and electrical stuff. FC the other rate generally do the same but with the weapons systems on ships. The schooling is pretty intense and definitely college level with a LOT of math and electric theory involved. Unfortunately you don't have a choice in ET or FC and you find out about 3/4 of the way through boot what you'll get. Now it is a great field cause the rewards after Navy life with good job opportunities that make pretty good money. Also bonuses are nice to ET/FC for reenlistment. You also get a lot of college credit going through A school and follow on with C school. If you have anymore questions please email me at ***EDITED BY ADMIN, I WILL SEND PM TO HIM WITH YOUR ADDRESS **** it's easier to get a hold of me that way cause I don't get on the web often. I can definitely give you any input needed. Last edited by Craig; 08-07-2009 at 09:36 AM. |

The field info sheet they gave me at MEPS for AECF (revised 01/08) says ATT is 9 weeks, FC Strand 12 weeks, and ET Strand 17 weeks.
The last one above (revised 06/11) says ATT is still 9 weeks, FC Strand is 20 weeks, and ET Strand is 42 weeks. Are these still accurate? Or has this changed again? I'm just trying to get an accurate picture of how long I will be in Great Lakes. |

The lengths of the schools are never exact; they're more like approximations. I can pretty much guarantee that you'll be in Great Lakes for about a year though. You have ATT, A-school, and then you'll be put on hold to wait for orders which, currently, are taking at least a couple months to get.

According to Cool Navy there is an info sheet dated 10/14 (also attached) and A-school alone is 42 weeks and then one advances to C-school but no information regarding C-school is on the info sheet. However, the description does say that the training is a self-paced computer based training so maybe I could move through the training faster.
