The quoted 72 days are actual training days and do not include weekends and holidays unless class is regularly scheduled on those days, which is highly unlikely. The minimum number of weeks this can be accomplished in is 14.5 weeks, which is ';under'; the 20 weeks required to be able to take your spouse to tech school at government expense.How long is the USAF Air Traffic Control Tech school?
Ask your recruiter he has all the information on how long and if you can





I have heard you can but M-F you have to stay in the Dorms and on the weekend you can go stay with your wife and this is if they have base housing available at your training installation
Air Traffic Control Tech School is 72 training days long.





Or 14.5 weeks long.





At Keesler AFB, MS








Yes, generally if your Tech School is longer than 20 weeks long, your spouse will be on your orders.





But there are very few Tech Schools that are 20 weeks long.
