For reserves, they usually have something attached to their contract such as DA, or FMTB. So you won't be needing to pick your orders at A-School.

So is it correct to say that if you do well in A school,they can send you to C school? What are the criteria? Or depending on the need on the navy? How do they determine if you are assigned to Marine combat?

Getting FMTB is just a matter of whether or not it's available. |

I am currently in DEP and my rate is HM (I leave for RTC on December 24)... the information i got from MEPS (I just went in June) is that A school is in the Great Lakes, but i keep reading that it was moved to Texas... I'm just confused

98% of what you get at MEPS is outdated and incorrect. HM A School is in Texas now at Fort Sam Houston.

Hi, I am a newbie so be gentle. I am an HM shipping to GL currently on 17FEB2014, however we are trying to roll me in early. I got advanced rank of E-3. I really want to get a C-School. You mentioned that your GPA helps you. GPA at A-School or from education prior? I ask cause my undergrad I didn't do so hot but I went for my Master's degree and I had a high GPA there cause I got my act together. Will they base it off my GPA from Grad school? As you can probably guess I am joining at a late stage in life, when I ship I will be 29 years old.

Thanks for the info on the GPA. My Master's is in Theology but I am not qualified to be a Chaplain and I really want to do something in the medical field.

I am interested in X-Ray Tech, Respiratory Therapy Tech and Surgical Tech. When do you ship out for BC?
