AD C School Reserves
Hey y'all! I'm a reservist here in A School for AD and I'm looking for clarification. I'm currently in indoc and nobody could really answer any of my questions with certainty at the moment. I'm trying to figure out if I'll have to attended C School after my A School and how long it would be. Any information would be great!

I can’t give you a 100% definitive answer to this because it depends on so much. But I can give you an expert opinion... The AD rate technically doesn’t require an A-school (for SELRES). So, I’d say you were fortunate that your command allowed an A-school instead of sending you straight home out of boot. They usually send reservist to a-school because they DO want you to know your rate. But when it comes to C-school, my bet would be that they don’t want to spend that money. Depending on which C-School you want and the length of it it is possible that you can get orders for it next year. But that depends on a host of other things including your hard and/or soft billet, whether the money pot is full, etc.
Like I said, this isn’t a definitive answer. There are simply too many variables. But if I were a betting man I’d say, “No.” |

I wouldn’t think so. If I know the Navy Reserve - and I’m pretty sure I do - they’ll jump at the chance to bring you home. It costs a lot of money to keep you in school. And the Navy is broke. I would contact the Chief Career Counselor at your NOSC and chat with them about it.

You should definitely be getting some sort of BAH. It may not be the full BAH with dependents, but you should get partial - at least. Glad that a PS3 was able to assist you (I’m a PS3, too. Haha). I’m also glad to hear that your CoC is being so helpful. Cherish that! You never know when your chief is gonna change and everything goes sour. My chief recently changed and it actually got way better.
Hope everything works out for you on the home front. Military service + relationships = chaos in a lot of circumstances. That’s been true for me, anyway. I’m about to go on orders for an extended amount of time and my wife is livid. Haha! I was voluntold for this one by a CDR so I didn’t really have any choice. Anyway, I’m rambling. Good luck, shipmate! |

Thanks again PS3 and yes I'm very grateful to have positive, quality leadership. Back home I'm a Police Officer and I'm dealing with very toxic leadership so having someone look out for me is very different haha! Good luck on your orders!

Depending on your platform, you may be required to go to C school. Somethings have to be taught before you touch the Aircraft.
