  • This video is about Navy IT A-School, and its been a long time coming for this one. Before joining, for some reason I could never find what I really wanted/needed to know about IT A-School, so I decided to go through it and make a video myself explaining it to you guys. I hope this video catered to any thoughts you may have had about life after Bootcamp, and if you have any other questions, drop them in the comments below 👇👇

    I just signed a 4 year contract, and I picked IT as my rate. I got it and I’m supposed to ship out on June first. This video was a lot of help and I’m excited to be apart of something bigger than my self.

    I randomly searched for US Navy IT A School and found this video. I served over 20 years ago, joined as a RM and was in when RM and DP merged to become the IT rate. Your video is really interesting to me, learning about the "C" schools and how a contract will guarantee that or not. I was able to attend a few certification classes for different systems we were running on our ship, but we didn't have any "C" Schools at the time. We were all just "IT."
    I also find it interesting that after all this time, they still haven't been able to figure out how to merge the radio/IT parts of the job. In my day, Data Processors (DP, lol) did the IT stuff and RM did the radio stuff. Even in my day, two years after the merge, we had this one first class that still wore his DP rating badge on his dress uniform, because he always said the Navy would never figure out how to merge the two jobs correctly.
    This was really interesting to watch. Thanks for making it. Also, super funny that I searched randomly and see you graduated boot camp on Jan 10 and were a member of Div 906. I had my pass and review on Friday, Jan 9, 1998. I was in Div. 906. Small world.
    Stay safe out there!

    Biggest thing with this rate is the TS/SCI. Easy way to get into many contractor and federal jobs. Its too bad they yanked certs out of A-school, but you can easily get those on your own. Discounts on the vouchers can be had if you at some point obtained a university email. Specialize in a set of certs like security+ and CISSP, don't just grab random ones for no particular reason. It can be difficult to convince your CoC to send you to get certifications, especially if you don't pressure them or prove you are worth the tax dollars.

      Berenice Guzman while your at your training command after bootcamp there is nothing you can do to get extra C school. As of now after A school 4ys take 2 courses that 6ys take but thats about is. The most you can do is make your next command believe that it would be a good "investment" for them to send you to San Diego to get more IT training. In my case i will not be able to get more training after i finish up my last two courses here and thats because my next command is very small and cannot just be throwing money to get me more training.

    • @antonioshaw9991
      @antonioshaw9991  4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I don’t know much about OS’s but, essentially, they operate computers & other systems in order to perform some sort of mission to inform the fleet of something. (Think: plotting ships’ positions, Powerpoints & whatnot) whereas IT’s operate the systems themselves, bringing them online, operating the COMMS, & troubleshooting and fixing those same systems. So if you were thinking about things that a civilian IT would do, it’s exactly what we do, with a little extra sprinkled on top. Also the certs & clearances you get as an IT translates into the civilian world very well when you get out.

      Yes. You learn all the same things, usually, the only reason a 6y IT signs it is to become a “push button”, which just means you make E-4 faster, but 4y’s go to the fleet and learn their actual jobs faster. & some 4y’s, if they’re stationed anywhere OCONUS, will get the same schools a 6y will get, & still keep the 4y’s contract. & btw, after military service, employers don’t care how long you’ve been in, they care how much you’ve accomplished & the Certs you’ve earned during your time in.

      They removed certs in A-school a while back. That being said, you will go over most of that material and you can take the exam on your own time. You can do very well after the Navy if you study for certs, save your money, and use your secret clearance.

      IT-SG (my rate) is a four year IT and they only have an A-School and then goto the fleet. You don't need an IT background to be good at it. as long as you know a thing or two about computers you will do well on that part of the ASVAP and will be eligible for that rate

      Not in A-school. It’s two parts of it where for half of A-school you will get an introduction to A+, operating systems, networking and servers, and then you move on to communications the latter half. But if you’re a 6 year and get a C school as a SYSAD after A-School, then you will do more advanced networking, programming, and configuration with & of different operating systems & servers

If you get Sysad, you’ll take more networking, Windows, and other OS programming classes, which will take about 6-7 months depending on a number of factors. Now if u get JCC, which is an advanced version of comms, you’ll be taking more classes that deal with radio. & there’s no choice between the two, unless you get stationed on a ship which will mean you get to work both sides no matter which C-school you get.

      @Jens Burnham literally barley started my classes 2 weeks ago been in holding for 3 months. Was rough at first, you learn like 80 slides of notes in one day then test on it the next everyday of the week but you get used to it. I have class from 6pm till midnight and sometimes I have to stand watch from 2 to 7 on the morning right after so those days suck but for the most part it’s chill paying me to go to class and play valorant 😂
