They CTIs are stationed based on their language. They can go to Georgia, Hawaii, Texas, and Maryland. It's pretty easy to find on the internet which languages go where, so I won't bother writing them out here. While you sort of get to "choose" your language, your DLAB score determines which language you qualify for. And even if you do "choose" a language you qualify for, it doesn't mean you'll get it. As a Navy wife you know by now everything is based on the needs of the Navy. My CTI's group were all thrown into one language when they arrived in Monterey, even though they all weren't given that language at RTC. The Navy needed them there, so that's where the ended up.

Comment by Lisa (A-Mac's mom) on July 21, 2012 at 12:59pm: I don't know if you all have heard, but one of the confirmed dead at the theater in Aurora, CO was CTN3 John Larimer. Peace be with his family.

Comment by NYRican924 on July 20, 2012 at 9:57pm: It definitely depends on your language. After DLI You report to your duty station for what I think is called C school or something like that. The duty stations are San Antonio Tx for Spanish linguist, Agusta Georgia, Hawaii, and I forget the other ones. The people that new in boot camp probably found out based on the language they chose. Good luck in your naval career :-)

Comment by SarahsMom(Ship03/Div176) on July 20, 2012 at 7:36pm: Frazcom21,when my sailor decided on a language at Bootcamp,they told her she would go to Augusta after DLI based on the language she is learning. I think others go to Hawaii and I believe I heard Alaska.

Comment by KC'smom on July 15, 2012 at 7:40pm: Question..... Can anyone give me advice on their schedule after graduation? He graduates on a Thursday & has no idea what they do with him after that day. He doesn't know if we should go home the next day or stay a while. We won't stay if we can't be with him- we just can't afford to. I'm ready to book my tickets next week when my Southwest card arrives in the mail!!! So excited!

Comment by KC'smom on July 15, 2012 at 7:36pm: My son has been whale watching, taken sailing lessons, camped at Big Sur, driven to San Francisco for fireworks, gone to the San Diego zoo..... And he hardly has any free time but he's been there a year now. He loves it!

Comment by proudmom on July 15, 2012 at 10:41am: Indymom,
Was it awesome to see your son! My daughter is having a great time in Monterey. It will be so nice cause you can talk, text and Skype your son now. My daughter has earned off-base privileges and has already found the mall. LOL

Comment by IndyMom on July 15, 2012 at 3:46am: Well just returned from PIR and wating to hear from my son when he arrives in Monteray. My husband has already booked tickets fo September visit.
