Navy Corpsman A-School - HM Rules & Phases for Sailors in 2023! 4K

Two US Navy corpsmen, Rejoice Tapon and Ashlee Braut, share their stories and advice about A-School.

Most sailors go from Bootcamp to A-School immediately, but some must wait a couple of days in Great Lakes (Chicago) before shipping to A-School.
In their case, they waited 2 days.

Thank you for these videos I am leaving for HM next month and learning what to expect from A school!

Thanks for the info! I am leaving for RTC on Feb. 10, 2022 and going in as an HM. These were nice and helpful videos. I actually went to RTC back in 2019 but got hurt and was medically discharged. Two years later I finally got all the approvals and my second chance. And just in time as I am turning 40 in April so I have to get in before that. I am looking forward to it this time, succeeding and making it to San Antonio after TEN weeks of boot camp in 2022. Hooyah Navy!

Hi. Thank you so much for these videos especially the one on the swim test as I was nervous about that. I ship off to RTC on January 31, 2022. I go in as a SN/PACT ( undesignated). Thank you for these videos, extremely helpful. After bootcamp I will come back and update you guys how it went. I am so excited to start a new chapter of my life at 21 years old. Hooyah

I know this video is 2 y/o but… I’m scratching my head over the nose ring in an official USN uniform. I know I retired in 2011 but… I know a lot of regs have changed since my days. That just isn’t one I can see changing. Back in 91’-92’ I didn’t want to join the Navy because I didn’t want to cut off my hair. Then when I did join I literally had to fight tooth and nail for HM A school. I had a contact undesignated and went back told my recruiter I wasn’t going unless I had HM in writing. Females had to score higher on the ASVAB just to get into the military and the billets were far fewer and in between at each MEPS. But to this day I’m still pissed that they stopped making females stop cutting their hair. Oh believe me we did not have time to fix our hair even having to get up 30 minutes before our male shipmates. I was in an integrated company in Orlando. Ok I’ve said my peace.

Can family visit? Should we visit or attend A school grad? After graduation do you get liberty to fly back home?

[isaiahthaxton]
