Chances of getting IT
Anyone have any idea how likely the chances of getting IT are? I qualify based on my ASVAB scores, but of course nothing is guaranteed. Just wondering if anyone knows if IT's are in need right now.

I feel like this was answered for you in your last post... Nobody knows, nobody is going to know. The only time you will find out if/when it's available is when you are sitting at MEPS and they tell you what is available.

The rate as a whole is at 93% right now, moving to 92% next FY. So there's a good chance they'll have a spot open as long as you meet ASVAB and security clearance requirements.
That being said though; that's the rate as a whole. E3 and below is 53% for sea, but also 134% for shore. So while the rate as a whole is lower than 100%, that doesn't dictate what the ECM is gonna have open for new recruits coming in. /r CTT1 EDIT: On the sea/shore aspect, you don't get to pick. They could still balance that out by moving those shore guys out to sea billets. So don't read super hard into the 53% number. But your chances look decent overall. |

I signed my ATF/IT contract exactly one month prior to your post, and the 6 year IT (Advanced Technical Field program) was the only rate available from the ones I wanted (IT 4/6yr, GM, MA, CTN, CTM). Can't say it's still like that, but IT was the only rate available for me (and it's the 6 year enlistment), but I'd think there might be a decent chance it's available.
Won't know 'til they look it up, though.

Yep so as long as you meet those, it's just about the rating having open billets the day you go down. If they do, you're good to go! /r CTT1 |

I'm shipping as a IT too. Would there ever be a chance that a It could volunteer to support Seals Teams or do SpecOp missions?
