CTI information, please!
Hello everyone! :) So I am currently in the process of enlisting as a CTI, I have already passed the DLAB and am extremely excited. My question is about A school and C school. I'm married and have a four month old son, it's going to be a very difficult few years getting through school and having a baby, I know but I have a very supportive husband who is equally excited for our Naval journey. I was wondering if there are any other CTI's out there or wives of CTI's who can tell me for sure if my family will get to go with me to school, as well as what the deployments are generally like for this rate. I've tried looking it up but can't find any real information on it, and I'm the first CTI my recruiter has put through so she doesn't have much information on it either. Insights into anything CTI related would be greatly appreciated, thank you!!

The A school is long enough to be accompanied. I've heard of CTIs having their families nearby in school, but can't think of anyone specific just now.
As far as I can tell, CTIs do not have a usual sea/shore rotation, so stateside shore duty your first year is a strong possibility, followed by an overseas duty station. You can move family overseas if you are an E-4 or above, so that shouldn't be a huge issue.
