My heart is breaking for the parents receiving notice that it was their child among the dead on the helicopter that was shot down in Afghanistan. I am praying for each of them. I will hug my Navy Sailor, home on leave, just a little tighter.

God bless them.... We feel your families pain....

Dee - Per your question, I actually made a really cool chart to figure all that crap out. I need to find it. It will look like it is extremely hard to understand, but it is actually very simple. In fact, you sailor will think your a genus for knowing more than most of there command. I guarantee he will be passing around to his buds...
One I find it, I will post it later this evening. It is actually one of those things that you really need to hang onto.... He will use it for years....

HA- the more I understand the more I get confused!

Dee- My son says if it was the auto advance then he will not be eligible until march to take the exam. But if he advanced off the exam from last sept then he can take the exam this sept. He has to be being paid for a full year or from the froked date a full year. I hope I explained it right.
It helps having my oldest here to ask questions.

Paula - Per you other question, your son will not be a E4. He is a CTT operator are 4 yo (year), the CTT technical are 6 yo (year), go above in the discussion area to see the difference...
What the difference between a 4 year & 6 year CTT?
If he goes in as a E2, he will still need to meet the Time In Rate (TIR) requirement. There use to be people called "Push button E4" (which is what I was), but those days are long gone, it went away in the 1990's.
Per for requesting his duty stations on his dream sheet, he needs to begin looking at the billets that are available now and save them. That way he can write his dream sheet to those orders. Has he bought a CAC card reader? He will be an E3 when he leaves Pensacola for his 1st duty station. So he can look at the E1-E3 and the E4 billets. He is not qualified for the E5 billets.

What is a CAC card reader? Why is it so important?
Here is the TIR requirements. Remember, you don't actually need to have the time in on the advancement date, just in the advancement cycle. (Boy, I'm going to confuse everyone here with that statement)....

Paula - Nothing is stupid here on this forum, you guys are just family members trying to learn more about the Navy, which is cool.
There is only one thing you messed up on, that is, even though you know that I know the answer, I rather have you ask the entire group of members here on this forum the question. I want our members to step up (like navymom3 did) and answer up. That way everyone is involved. I don't ever want to be the one-man-band. So always start your sentence with "All", instead of "Craig". Our seasoned moms know there stuff...
navymom3 - This is why I like you guys standing up. You have it almost 100% correct. I know now there are two people that don't fully understand the rate system. So, by knowing this, I can provide information to the group that might help you guys.
Soooooo, here is a cheat sheet that one of my deppers on my website made for the others. The deppers will make this their wallpaper on their computer so they always see it. But for you guys, I'd just make a short cut on your computer desktop so it's just a button click away. I hope this might help you guys....

Paula my oldest son is a AT2 which is a petty officer 2nd class so he is E5 going to take the E6 test next month. So I think that is what the number means petty officer 1st, 2nd or 3rd class. Not sure what the SM is. And my son isn't home for me to ask. Craig tell me if I am wrong.

Craig-
Got a question. I am in the learning stages, so it may sound stupid to you, but gotta ask.. On the Billet list, there is CTT2,CTT3,CTTSM, etc., Is that the rank of the CTT? CTT2- an E2? My son signed on as 4 active and 4 reserve. He plans on being in for the long haul- Career entry. Will go in as an E2 and should be an E4 after A school is what he has been told. When does he put his choices in? Is it based on what rank he is at the moment? Thanks for any advise..
