Jodster68, Click on the Discussion Forun View All. There is a complete list and definition of all the CT rates. Good luck understand all that stuff, but its all there. There is one other thing that you all might like to know. That is that CT's have the fastest advancement track in the Navy followed by the Nukes. They make Chief years ahead of the rest of the Navy.

CTN's are the smallest group of the CT rate, so their classes are kind of small.

Some one asked about class sizes. My son's class was 7 sailors or which 5 graduated. Hope this helps.

Brandi, our son left for Hawaii at the end of February. He got all the info he needed from Corry. Of course, he is single. He drove to New Orleans and had his car shipped. He arranged for the movers to come and pack up what he wanted to take from here in Pennsylvania. He lives in the barracks. Feel free to send me a private message with any questions you have and I will try to answer. It took about a month for his car to get to Hawaii and about a month for his possessions to arrive. Your husband should also have a sponsor in Hawaii that can answer any questions or let him know where to go to get the answers.

Brandi, Before you get to the new base try to get in touch with the Navy wives club on the base. They will know all about the housing issues. There is a lot of help at every base, you just need to reach out to those already at the base.

Susan, when you go to Pensacola, don't miss the air museum it is a wonderful way to spend a hot July afternoon.

Hi everyone. I'm asking for all your good thoughts. My favorite CTN2 is in the process of buying his first home. He found a lovely end unit townhouse and in now in the process of getting his first mortgage. I thought it would be a simple process because he is getting a VA mortgage and is on active duty. Was I wrong! Anyway, if you could send some good thoughts his way, it couldn't hurt.

Mary, My oldest son is a CTN2 and stationed in Norfolk. The cryptos are allowed to tell us VERY little about what they do. It makes for some very short conversations. CTN stands for cryptologic tech- networking. They do something with the computer networks ( my son works on the ships at Norfolk). He likes it a lot even though he doesn't get to deploy on any of those ships. The wash out rate is high because A school is very tough. What you need to get use to is that your son will be able to tell you next to nothing about what he does. I think the hardest thing about this rate, for us, was the process of getting him his security clearence. Chris insists his rate is very cool. My son the computer geek!
