CTI vs CTN vs CTT vs CTR vs CTM Stationing?
I realize things aren't quite so clear-cut, but generally speaking, would the following statements be true or false?
Firstly, in general, first tour = on a ship. Dream sheets aren't likely, and you'll be sent where the Navy needs you. CTI: ASVAB scores dictate what language you can learn. Likely to be at sea near the area of interest corresponding to that language, with very little travel elsewhere. CTT: 6-year contract allows for longer schooling, thus more technical knowledge. Likely to be on ships. Lots of traveling to lots of places. 4-year contract correlates to less schooling, so more on the operational side of things. Likely to be on shore. CTN: Often stationed on INCONUS with very little/no travel. Rarely stationed OUTCONUS, but would most likely be on shore. CTR: Coin-toss as to where and how you're stationed? CTM: Live on shore but go out with ships, sometimes for months at a time? Or is that universally a thing for CT? Majority are in Japan on ships? I know the job descriptions, the schooling timeframes, working environments (for the most part), and I realize a lot of stuff is confidential, but I'd like to have a general understanding of what my years might look like should I go this route, whether I'd be on a ship or on shore or INCONUS OR OUTCONUS. Thanks in advance!! |

R-branchers are similar to us T-birds in the fact that we're needed everywhere and our skillset translates all over the world. So it's possible to have the opportunity to go a lot of different places and do a lot of different things. Quote:

CTIs are not likely to be at sea. We are similar to CTNs except we have the possibility of going DIRSUP (deploying with ships, never stationed on a ship).
Our centers of excellence do determine which languages tend to go where but they don't always correspond to the area where that language is used. CTIs can predict the location of their first tour with almost complete accuracy because it's almost always the center of excellence. It's only the billet/type of work that's a surprise. |
