If you want to apply and attend a C school, is it true that you have to apply before you have 10yrs of service??? Also, how many months before you are due to rotate do you have to apply?

No.

Depends on the school and the situation. All of my "c" schools were in conjunction with PCS transfers. I never actually applied for a school. The billett required a certain NEC, so the detailer put the school on my orders.

Thanks, bryner. Do you know where I can find in print that you don't need to apply before 10 yrs?
My hubby was told (by his Chief who apparently was once a detailer so hubby thinks he must be right) that he would have to apply to any C school before he leaves his current command because his PRD or whatever it is called will be 2 months past his 10 yr mark. He was hoping to take his next shore duty and apply for a school from there.
My hubs isn't the type to ask a lot of questions when he thinks someone is more qualified to know something better than he does, but when I think about his future being my future as well, I kind of like to know he was well-informed before he makes any decisions!
My answer was from personal experience. I went to Senior Enlisted Damage Control school when I had 12 years of service. Many of my classmates were more senior than me. Finding an instruction to back that up is kind of like "proving a negative"- very difficult to do. It should be the Chief's responsibility to prove the 10 year limit exists.
Yep, I didn't figure this info would be so easily accessible, especially to me.
I am not saying Chief is wrong, but I was thinking a few of hubby's fellow sailors took schools after 10 yrs....either rules have changed, or this is something that applies to his rate only.
