March 20, 20179 yr comment_759477 I didn't realize there was a graduation in the middle. They've rearranged things a bit, I guess. Report
March 21, 20179 yr comment_759521 The graduation was only for this school. The next one will be the final one. To me the medical training should be done closer to the end since it's a perishable skill, but he will have more training after he gets his brevet. It's is the longest MOS block of the bunch in SF. He will do, among other training blocks, 25 weeks of language training, likely Arabic. Report
March 21, 20179 yr comment_759524 That's cool. I did a little reading after I posted that, and it looks like they did mix things up a bit. I imagine he's driven enough to succeed, which will be a major accomplishment. Report

Here's hoping it's Arabic and not Dari. Report

Thanks. Either way, he will likely be in the 5th Group which is the Middle East. We tried to get him to consider Chinese but he won't listen.
