Cryptology ~ CTI ~ CTM ~ CTN ~ CTR ~ CTT ~ CWT Corry Station Pensacola Florida and Monterey California

Ismile- Welcome to the group. My son is also CTM. The navy actually furnishes all the linens that they need. Mine however wanted a 2nd pillow after he got there. Then cannot have anything with a hot plate in there room like coffee maker.

Your SR will first go to NAS Pensacola for his ATT class. That class is required before they can go to Corry station for there actual A school. They may have a short wait to class up for this class. Mean while they keep them busy with indoc, watch quals, pt and barracks duty. After they finish the ATT class then they will move over to Corry station. Again they may have a small wait for there class to begin.

Your SR will love pensacola and the beach. My son has been there since Mar 18th and will be graduating next friday from A school. He was told he would be there about 18 months but has gotten lucky with not have huge wait times on his class.

If you have any other questions just ask.

@navymom@    Julie  I know he will do great but thinking of him today and wishing him the very best

navymom  so proud of your son!!   congrats to you too!!   Hug the stuffing out of him

Navymom - Bravo Zulu to your son....  

Just got back from Pcola and graduation. It was a wonderful thing to see. It is more personal then the PIR. They read off everyones name, where they are from and where they are going. Then they will stop so you can take pics. I will post a pic after I get back from our molly adopt a sailor packing party on saturday. I made 29 pillowcases and my friend made 20.

Deborah- He might have said IT barracks as my son said they are better. He is trying to change to one since he is now staying in Pcola for C school.

Deborah, my son graduates next week from A school in Pensacola as a CTT 4 year.  Lol!  

I agree with navymom,, that I"m sure it's the IT barracks that he will want to request.   My son was in the other barracks for about 2 weeks and couldn't wait to get out of there.  

Deborah - I really don't remember saying CT barracks, but if I did, my point would have been, try not to get assigned to bldg 1082 or 1084, it is the ghetto.  They were condemmed when I was there, and they haven't really fixed them up. They still suck.

He wants the 3700 series barracks.  The 3715, 3716, 3717 are the best. That series 3715 thru 3717 are called the satellite barracks and are completely away from the 3702 thru 3710 barracks.  They're way more nicer....

Here is some pictures:

Well, I was bored as heck at work yesterday, and since my nephew (who's a CTT) wanted to have a t-shirt made that had CTT on it, I thought I'd make one up for him. 

I thought it came out kind-of good....  

Here at the logo's for CTN...

The official one...

The un-official one...

Congrats again navymom3! A proud day for you and your sailor. I enjoyed A school graduation a whole lot more than PIR. don't get me wrong, it was great but I just wanted to see my kid.lol

Glassdog~I saw one CTR shirt in P'cola at the Nex. I remember wanting it but it was a huge size. We were gonna look again but haven't been back. Hurricane Irene here and then TS Lee  there stopped us from going. If I see one, I will let you know. If anyone else sees anything, I too would like to have one. I have a Navy shirt that has an eagle in a sailor's cover and everyone wants it. It is my favorite.

mom3 - Awesome picture.... It's always good seeing those types of pictures.  btw:  I like the Marines in the background.  Someone forgot to say "at ease"....  ~ha 

Mom4J - Why buy one?  Just right click the mouse and copy it.  Take the jpeg to a t-shirt shop and have them print one up....

glassdog - Let me tell you, there is a total shortage of rating specific logo's.  We should start a company that sells only cool rating types of t-shirts.  We'd sell thousands of them.  There is truly no one else in the business to do them.  

For my website, I was actually thinking of having someone make logo's, I need a way to pay for the hosting and software, and this is one item that I know would sell.   The logo would have to be incredibly awesome so these sailors would wear them proudly. 

Craig starting a rating specific tee shirt company would be great.  Most of my tees were hand painted with one of a kind tees.  However I have designed many that could be used.  The thing about the ratings for me is that I don't understand much of what is done. PS  I have a business license for Colorado!

Sunshine73 keep me in mind on the tee shirt.

In the mean time Craig if you are serious contact me as I think you are right!

glassdog - You going to Molly's packing party?  If so, then we need to sit down and talk.  This is like a Reese's Peanut butter cup, I know the Navy and you know the graphics.  Together, we could do something really cool.  Like I said, this is one area that most people haven't a clue.  It's an untapped market.  

I'd like to see some of your graphics.   

Yes we will be there!  I will bring some shirts I have done and some of my sketch books.  Much of it is realistic but I have also done some things that are representational.  Just depends on my mood and on what is needed.  I think this would be fun!  Look forward to seeing you there!

Anyone else in Colorado on 10/1 come join us at the packing party.  Info is on the Colorado mom's group site!

Ok  Im gonna brag a little bit.   Here is my son at Ft Meade.  He is part of the honor guard there now   He's doing honor guard while waiting to take his polygraph this coming Thursday.  This was at the 9/11 ceremony - actually on 9/9  My son is the tall one in the front on the left    I just randomly saw it on the Ft Meade facebook page

Angie, great picture.  How wonderful for your son.  

My son graduates tomorrow as a CTT!  Woohoo!  I'm in Pensacola and can't wait for the ceremony.  Still no orders, though.  :(  

navymom3, thank you.  

I'm not sure Lady Hamilton.  They did the IT graduatings with all the CT's graduating, so it was big enough.   

I need some advice.  I've read the above discussion on moving household goods however my DIL is in need of clarification. Here goes. My son has orders for Okinawa in March. Right now he's in a C school at Corry and his wife has moved back home until Feb.  The moving people came 2 weeks ago and packed up their apt in GA. She's not sure where her things are at the moment (we assume storage for now) Here's the issue.  They were told they can only ship 2400 LBS. She was informed a few days ago the weight of their things is 3200lbs.  What happens in this case?  Being naive at the moving process she was thinking that before the HHG was shipped she would be able to..split...what they really wanted to take and store the rest for 3yrs.  She told me there  was no way for them to know the true weight until it was too late. Also, she was told that they can take up to 400lbs with them. Does this come off the 2400lb allowance?

Hope someone has answers. Thanks.
