number 1 place were CTR sailors seemed to get stationed?
hi everyone!
My husband graduates from CTR in sep, they have already gave him a list of places we may get stationed, now i know this may sound like a silly question b/c we never no with the military, and this i know is different for everyone, BUT anyone who knows someone in CTR what was the place they got stationed at? or have noticed they usually get stationed at with this spec job? for example my husband knows a handful of guys in EOD and after training almost most of them got VA. Helps please! i just wanna get an idea more less.
Thanks again!
Brenda

My twin sons are both CTR and both stationed in Yokosuka Japan. They had bootcamp together, A and C school together, and then both got Japan but different ship assignments. They did not do the buddy thing either.

Your husband can pull up all the billets (jobs/duty stations) on CMS and it will tell you whats open. The main thing is if he gets a "C" school, what the NEC is. It will basically tell you where he will go. Example, if a CTM learns how to repair 85 foot antenna dishes in "C" school, there is no way they are going to a ship.

My sons first duty station was West Virginia. He is now in Hawaii. He is a CTR too. Good luck to you and your husband. So you could go anywhere.

My son is a CTR and has been stationed at FT Meade, Maryland, Misawa, Japan, and now is in Bahrain in the Persian Gulf. He is supposed to return to Maryland in June at will be at the Cyber Command. He had deployments in Okinawa and Qatar and is on an air crew. He just was chosen for Senior Sailor of the Quarter and is very happy! Best of luck to you both! God bless. Barbara

My husband also went to west Virginia however the base there is closing so your sailor won't be going there. The most common places his shipmates are going is Hawaii, ft Gordon, ft Meade, and Virginia. Some other places I know CTRs can go are ft Carson, Japan, Alice springs, and Washington state.
