Another "Crossrating to CTN" thread

I depped in as a CTN, but was dropped for academic reasons. I can give you a little insight. Fleet returnees have it a little easier than everyone else at Corry. I don’t remember seeing any fleet returnees doing roving watches. You may get stuck doing some MOOW or duty driver stuff. If you go there without your wife I’d expect to be in the barracks, but that’s not necessarily the case. The CTN barrack were total garbage when I was there, but they were building some new ones (they’re probably finished by now).
Any certain you can get will be helpful. Especially Network+ and Security+. There’s probably some more I’m overlooking. But think “network security.” Brush up on discreet mathematics. That’s where a lot of folks get hammered.
If you do take your wife you’ll be able to live off base. We had a guy that did that so unless things have changed it’s doable.
I know that’s not super helpful and someone else can probably fill you in better on these things, but that’s my $.02 on the matter.
