In Navy training, qualifying sailors for specialized duties often happens through a combination of schools, and which path you take depends on the specific specialty. After boot camp, sailors attend A-school to learn the basics of their chosen rating or job. Some specialties only require this initial training to qualify, while others need additional, more advanced instruction at C-school to master the specialty and earn any necessary qualifications or certifications (NECs). Because the path isn’t the same for every rating, the overall idea is that training to qualify for specialized duties can be A-school or C-school, depending on the specialty. Boot camp is just the general indoctrination, not the specialized qualification path, and saying it’s always A-school or always C-school doesn’t fit the variability across ratings.
