Just to answer the questions for him....He will be at Lackland AFB throughout training. He will be at BMT for 8 1/2 weeks and he will be in Technical School for approximately 3 months. He will be given the chance after to be in RAP(Recruiter Assistance Program) for 10 days and to take leave for 12 days after RAP. If he is wanting to go K-9, which seems so, he will have to certify on his regular job and get his 5 level and be an Airman First Class before being considered. The only reason I know this because I am also Air Force Security Forces, getting ready for K-9 school.
*edit* P.S. He will probably deploy within 6 months of completing his training. It is quite the norm for our career field. So you may not see him for 6 months-1 year depending on his deployment.
