The school is in Rhode Island and it is six months. The next school starts in July I think so we will be waiting to find out what will be done with us until that time when Jake goes to RI. There are at least two options. One, that we would be sent to our duty station for Jake to do hands on training until the next school starts, or two, we could stay in Va until the next school starts. We won't know until the end of Feb/first week of march where his duty station is or what his orders are.
