My son recently graduated and moved over to the Naval Station Great Lakes A School! We were proud to see him graduate and the performance from the 921 division was outstanding! He has been put on hold before ATT school. He just has several questions about his hold and I wanted to see if I could help him to get some answers!
First, how long can a reservist ET expect to be on hold? Also, is there a way for him to switch from Reserve to Active during A School? He decided along the way during boot camp that Navy lifestyle was something he loved and wants to continue full-time. Also, he was told to check his clearance and it says "No Determination Made." He has minor debt, but nothing that I personally feel will affect his ability to obtain a clearance. However, he was worried that this means he will not receive the clearance. Is this normal? Is it just because he hasn't arrived to ATT yet? Or is there something he should do to clear things up?
Thank you!

Will,
My son graduated BC on the 26th of Feb and was on hold for ATT school for about a month an a half. He started ATT two weeks ago. As for your other questions I'm not able to answer them but I bet if he went to the PO he could get pointed in the right direction. Good luck and welcome to the ET family.
Yep

Firstly, it appears that it is not an easy switch from Reserve to Active. that is the first step before anything else can happen. His clearance would have been done already should it be required for his advancement.
