WOW!! A lot has changed from my day. I was in A school back in 1985. (so old) we had 4 people to a room, 4 lockers, 4 desk, bunk beds and community bathrooms. This was at Great Lakes, so bootcamp was there just across from where the school was. I did go on later to become a surgical technician, going to Bethesda Naval. Surved in the FMF over in the Gulf, Desert Shield/Desert Storm.

Alot has changed, even the location with A-school being mixed with Air Force, and Army. The previous a-school in Great Lakes is still standing (abandoned) with all of its history inside. Hands down you had a wild ride during your time serving for sure with FMF, and the multiple tours! Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and thank you for serving.

I’m actually a drop from EOD/ND/DMT prep. It’s really not a prep it’s an assessment and selection course. Biggest thing is having absolutely perfect form for push sit and pull. Good run times. Get very comfortable in the water. They’ll do a lot of things trying to make you freak out underwater etc. find your happy place in the water. Good luck bro. Hope you make it!

@milespatterson35946 жыл бұрын
Grace Eitland Quizlet is your friend, it is very competitive especially since some people already have prior experience. STUDY,STUDY,STUDY! Cannot stress this enough. Ask a lot of questions, if your class decides to do a night study,even if you're not required to go,go, it won't hurt you. Stay focused, i saw a lot of people go down for stupid shit like drinking, assault and just bs. Find a good group of friends who will keep you motivated.It really comes down to how bad you want to be #1, hooyah?

I've heard some of the process and school house requirements have changed but it should still be around 19 weeks after you class up. Some times waiting to class up can make that shorter and/or longer.

I want to be a corpsman but also be in reserves is that possible ?
@owensmatt6 жыл бұрын
Yes, there's thousands of corpsman that are reserve. You'll go through the same pipeline as active corpsman through bootcamp, aschool, and cschool (if you are selected for one). Once you graduate the school you'll return back to the office you were sent out from and you'll be a reserve corpman from then forward. You'll still have obligations to fulfill but yes you can be a reservist and a corpsman.

Is Chicago O hare airport were we cen get our luggage for A school from friends?
@owensmatt Жыл бұрын
Friends and family can meet you at the airport before you fly out to exchange anything extra that you need or want to take to Aschoool. Now that you are a service member traveling on orders you should be allowed extra bags and overweight by most of the airlines without additional fee. When I left bootcamp i have 1 seabag, one garment bag, and the bootcamp issue backpack.

Depending how long the wait is to class up. Once classed up about 6 months give or take no setback with getting dropped back from possibility of failing a test (which happens alot but it's a huge deal as long as you continue to pass)
