Plan on 5 days of Indoc. And then roughly 2 weeks of systems, with a day or two off every 4-5 days or so....I think in roughly 17 days I did 13 class days... So plan on a minimum 3 weeks of getting your own place...

I'm assuming no Hotel for any stage of the interview, is that correct?Correct

What about hotel during training? If not, how long does one have to prepare for to pay out of pocket? Out of pocket day 1

Are you getting your minimum $36x75hrs from day I of ground school? What about travel benefits on HAL, do they kick in from day one as well? how about CASS, how long till that is taken care of? You get what I believe was a daily rate for the days you are in groundschool. And then it is adjusted for min. guarantee I believe... Per diem starts day 1.... I think it came out to where I brought in slightly more than I do as a reservist now..... Not a whole lot more, but the extra did help out a little.

When do you know what fleet you get assigned to? I think we found out by the end of day 1 or so...

Thanks so much!
Travel benefits start day 1, but there is a lag time to get into the system to list yourself... Also have to get your company ID's which takes a few days depending on how quickly you get your AOA badge and have all your paperwork completed. (there is a lot of running back and forth to HR to tie up loose ends etc)... If you need to get somewhere, Training can accomodate you with a phone call or two to travel department. But going off island alot, or heading to the mainland every time you get 2 days off may get noticed if you fall behind at all? I live on an outer island and pretty much stayed put in HNL except for a couple of times to take care of home stuff.

CASS is done fairly quickly also. I think by the end of week 1, or 2, CASS is set up. It probably depends on how large your class is. Fewer people in class will probably mean an easier time getting passwords, badges etc.
