IT Duty Stations

jzhaun · 07-20-2012, 06:49 PM

Assuming that the IT duty stations are the same as the general CT stations (which there is a thread about in the general CT sub heading), duty stations in the US would be all of the SIGINT domains:

Fort Gordon, Pensacola, Fort Dix, Detroit, Hawaii, Ogden, North Island, Greensboro, Medina, Great Lakes, Camp Parks, Washington DC, Fort Meade, Fort Lewis, Orlando, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Denver, Fort Worth, and Fort Devens.

Also according to that thread - highest concentration of ITs as of 2010 was at Norfolk (3100ish), followed by San Diego (1700ish), Hawaii (900ish), Pacific North West (400ish), and Jacksonville (300ish). There is a greater percentage of ITs at sea than on land at any given time, but over an entire 30 year career you spend more time on shore duty.

ITs can go anywhere. I work with IT's that started at shore and on sea duty, it all depends on what the Navy needs at the time.

I'm shipping out 20120808. That's in 17 days. Lol. I heard of a lot of ITs being able to go anywhere. I asked the Chief in charge of my district and she said I would more than likely be able to get San Diego. But I guess we'll see. I'm from Virginia Beach, but grew up in Norfolk. Not really trying to stay here. Haha.

You will definitely get your time at sea also. Please don't think cause you get shore first that you won't get sea. If you get shore first it will be only for 2 years then you'll be off to a sea duty station.

H1PH0PEL3M3NT5, I am the opposite of you. You want San Diego, I used to live there but I live in TN now, and I want Norfolk. That is where you live....interesting. lol.

Haha. I miss the west coast. I also have family there. I mean, VA will always be home, but I just need to get away. Coming over here, you'll be surrounded by military people. Not that it's a bad thing. VA is very military-populated. Norfolk Naval Base, Oceana, Little Creek, Langley, etc. I'm sure you'll feel right at home. Lol.
