<p>Hello everyone! My son will be graduating BC this Friday and tells me he doesn't start A school until April 18th, April 18th, yikes! Not the news I really wanted to hear, but I know out of my control. What will help keep them busy during this time? He wants me to send his XBox! ugh...lol...I know he has a lot of Netflix to catch up on, but still! lol Will the Military be helping keep their minds sharp and focused? Is there <em>no</em> school whatsoever during this time? </p>
<p>Any insight…</p>

Hi Moms and all! I have been stalking this and other Navy Forums since my daughter told me she wanted to go into Navy as a CTI. She depped in last month with that rate, and now I am in the 'what do we need to do, get, prepare for' phase. I want to get her something useful or nice to have at the DLI, and am looking for suggestions from those who have had their sailors their or been their themselves.

Hi Moms and all! I have been stalking this and other Navy Forums since my daughter told me she wanted to go into Navy as a CTI. She depped in last month with that rate, and now I am in the 'what do we need to do, get, prepare for' phase. I want to get her something useful or nice to have at the DLI, and am looking for suggestions from those who have had their sailors their or been their themselves. She has a computer that I will send with her, and had thought about getting an external hard drive that she could load up with movies and such. This idea had come from active sailors, but they are on ships and wondering if that would be useful at DLI. I feel like the barracks will have internet/WIFI and it wouldn't be useful.<br />
Were their items your sailor was glad they had or wished they had during their time at the DLI? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated:)<br />
Thanks for all the helpful information I have been able to get from these forums!!! It has been invaluable in our journey. No billets or jobs?tag:navyformoms.ning.com,2016-09-12:1971797:Topic:94549622016-09-12T13:10:14.491ZDNavyFamilyhttps://navyformoms.ning.com/profile/DanNavyFamily
<p>Anyone experience or hear of issues where despite graduating and completing the DLPT, that due to budget cuts there are simply no CTI billets open and they just stay at DLI for months or worst case, get honorably/administratively discharged?</p>
<p>I know it has to be tough for the Navy since they can never accurately predict the number of graduates who actually make it due to the high attrition rates.</p>

<p>Just curious. Crazy after spending all the time and money, and a year of a young person's life, to just pass successfully and have no job?</p>

<p>Hey y'all! Haven't posted in a long while, but just want to let you know I will be leaving this group tonight....my Son was recently dropped from the CTI course. He was in Russian and really had a horrible time with it, and was eventually dropped from the class. He is now heading to Pensacola for his new rate...IT. Thanks to all of you for your friendship and guidance, and I wish all of you and your Sailors good luck in all you do!</p>

<p>My son is DEP and will go to boot camp later this year. He has a CTI contract. He is wondering when he will know what his language is and if he has any choice at all? There is a lot of information online but frequently it is conflicting.</p>
<p>Thanks for any info.</p>

<p>Hi CTI Moms! My daughter is in boot camp now and will be going to DLI after graduation. I look forward to hearing from y'all and experiencing CTI Mom advice and experiences. This is going to be a grand adventure for my daughter and I am so proud!!</p>
<p>I know CTI is a very small job rating compared to other Navy jobs.But I hope we can keep this group alive for the few of us!</p>

<p>I'm a rising senior in high school who is really interested in joining the navy as a CTI. I've just started to talk to my recruiter and have been looking around the internet as well for more information. This site seems to be the most accurate and detailed, so I joined (sorry, I'm not a mom :) ) I have a lot of questions pertaining to CTIs, here goes:</p>

<p>I'm a rising senior in high school who is really interested in joining the navy as a CTI. I've just started to talk to my recruiter and have been looking around the internet as well for more information. This site seems to be the most accurate and detailed, so I joined (sorry, I'm not a mom :) ) I have a lot of questions pertaining to CTIs, here goes:</p>
<p>1) When do you find out your language, before during or after boot camp?</p>
<p>2) How long do ea. of the phases at the DLI take?</p>
<p>3) Do single sailors always live at the DLI, or do they have to rent?</p>
<p>4) It seems like the Asian languages go to Hawaii and the middle eastern ones go to Georgia, is that always true?</p>
<p>4b) How many years are spent at those duty stations? Is it permanent?</p>
<p>5) Do most sailors deploy? (I know that they don't usually deploy as part of the ships company, but do they deploy otherwise?)</p>
<p>5b) If so, how many times on average/what are your child's experiences?</p>
<p>6) When at the duty stations, must sailors live on base?</p>
<p>7) How do promotions work? How often etc.</p>
<p>8) How are languages chosen? The recruiter says you choose, but everywhere else says you don't. If I were to score highly on the DLAB, how much of a chance would I have at getting either Mandarin/Arabic?</p>
<p>9) Do certain languages deploy more often?</p>
<p></p>
<p></p>
<p>Sorry for all the questions!</p>
