Navy "C" schools for corpsmen are located at various locations throughout the United States. Some of these locations include Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio, Texas, Great Lakes, Illinois, Camp Lejeune in Jacksonville, North Carolina, and Naval Hospital Corps School in Great Lakes, Illinois. The specific location for a corpsman's "C" school will depend on their specific training and career path within the Navy.

∙ 14y agoA C School is a formal school within the Navy that provides a specialization of skills that can affect a persons duty assignments and availability. The Hospital Corps has a large number of C Schools, with most being held at the Naval Schools of Health Science, but some are held in other locations, even at universities. Some of the C Schools include Medical Laboratory Technician School, X Ray Technician School, Dental Hygienist School, Operating Technician School, Respiratory Technician School, Dive Medical Technician School, Independent Duty Technician School, etc. The most unique school is Field Medical Service School (FMSS). Once a Corpsman passes this school they may be assigned to a Marine unit, often within their specialty, but upon completion will return to a normal duty rotation. In other words a corpsman who becomes trained for the Marines is not required to serve with the Marines for the remainder of their career.

What are the U.S. Navy C schools?
"C" schools are the Navy's Advanced Training schools. "A" schools are considered Basic Operator or Basic Training for a particular rating. "C" schools go further in that they go above and beyond the basic rate training given in A schools. For example, as a Submarine Sonar Technician, I went to Basic Sonar Operator school first, or Sonar "A" school. After that, I spent another year in an advanced maintenance course (C school) for a specific Sonar system. For other rates, such as Machinists, it can be advanced training for multiple systems, or just one specific system, depending on their area of expertise. Those who wish to get C school training typically are required to give the Navy at least 6 years due to the length of time it takes to train people. From Boot Camp to the time I reported to my first boat, it took about 18 months of training. The difference is that you gain more professional training in your career path, which will help you whether or not you stay in the Navy or if you get out. I was fortunate in that I went to 2 C schools, and was trained in both analog and digital electronics systems. That background gave me a pretty good post-Navy career.
Why is it called C school in the Navy?
Because, based on the original US Navy training pipeline arrangement, the US Navy Class "C" school was the third school in the in-rating (or, within the job title) sequence. From what I read in a recruiting brochure while processing for enlistment into the US Navy in 1981, The Class "A" schools all teach entry-level skills, the Class "B" schools (used to) teach intermediate level skills, and Class "C" schools teach that specialize on the specific equipment that the trainees will be working on in the fleet. According to the brochure, the Class "B" school curriculum was folded into the Class "C" school courses. And there is even deeper training beyond that, that are simply called "Advanced Schools" or courses (actually), lasting days or weeks.
