CTT or CTR?

My friend is retired CTR Chief and spent fair amount of time on ships, from carriers to destroyers. From what I've read online the CT rate that stays mostly on shore is CTN.

That's correct.

CTN's do have some Spec War opportunities (as all CT's do), but the opportunity to go to sea is pretty limited as a N-brancher.

ISSN Reynolds,

For OPSEC's sake I would also remove your specific job title and NEC from your signature block. Last name is fine, but specifics shouldn't be mentioned as to your role and duty station.

My roommate is about to go to some destroyer and he's a CTR. I'm also a CTR (hopefully) and I enjoy it so far. But I might be a little biased. I think I would enjoy almost any job in the navy.

That's not quite accurate.

Both CTR's and CTT's are on almost every combat ship in the fleet, as well as DIRSUP'd to Submarines as well. You will absolutely be going to sea as either rate within your first 2 duty stations (short of some freak situation).

CTT's manage the Anti-Ship Missile Defense (ASMD) and ELINT duties for ships at sea, and CTR's are down in SESS performing COMINT duties. So both rates are heavily involved with operations onboard the ship.

Thanks for all the advice! I definitely want the opportunity to travel a bit. I went to MEPS today, but wasn't able to DEP in until I get my eyes checked by some specialist. I've worn glasses most of my life, but I've never really had any issues. Not sure what the issue is now. Anyway, I'll hopefully be going back on Monday to finish things up! Can't wait to see what jobs are offered to me!
