CTT or CTR?

CTR3(IW/SG) Freddie · 12-11-2014, 07:16 PM

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!

Update: I got back from MEPS this afternoon. They didn't offer me a CT position, but I took AECF and my recruiter is working with me to do everything possible to see if I can class up (or whatever he called it) to CTR or CTT if positions are open come January. As of now my ship date is 20140302. I think I will like the AECF field even if I don't have the opportunity to switch to a CT job. So there's all of that. Thank you all again for your advice and encouragement!

Stay on top of them, I signed as an AECF initially and I got my DEP Action Request (or DAR) approved!

I most definitely plan on doing so! If you don't mind me asking, which job did you switch to?
