The vast majority of fleet returnees at NACCS were some form of CT rating... my class alone had a CTT1 and CTR2... I personally knew two CTIs from other classes as well; one was a CTI1, and the other was a CTI3 fresh out of DLI. You would pick up orders to go to NACCS from DLI I believe, and would be assigned to a VQ or VPU squadron... VQ-1 is based out of NAS Whidbey Island in northern Washington... VPU squadrons are in a few locations... I'll leave it at that. As a CT, you would not re-class to an AW rating... you'd stay a CTI and just o though the Aircrew Candidate School portion of the pipeline before moving on to your squadron/command.
As far as what exactly you'd do as an Aircrew CTI... what little info I know, I can't discuss. I'd highly recommend it though if you're fit and determined enough for the NACCS curriculum. Let your instructor know when you get to Monterey that you're interested.
