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

Is there a facebook group for those in CTR or at Pensacola?

maybe that is why this group is so quiet? 

what is the facebook page called?

https://www.facebook.com/groups/CorryStation/

Thank you for posting the facebook page.  My son is waiting for his orders to go to Pensacola.

Well I like that everything that is posted is very clear direct information.  I appreciate everybody who takes the time to answer our questions :))

My son has decided he would love to become a SEAL.  He has talked with his supervisors(chiefs) and he has been advised to do the CTM job for at least a year before he puts in his paperwork for seals.  That would mean going back to bootcamp.  I support him no matter what he wants.  I really hope he enjoys his CTM position enough to just stick to that.  He is one week into A school so still has a while to finish that.  

My son has been a CTM for 3 1/2 years and seems to like it. He is currently on deployment.

My son is also CTM. He has been in for 4 1/2 years now and likes it very much. He spend his first 3 years in Japan now he is in San Diego. He has made some great contacts for why he does decide to get out. But he still has another 2 years.

So glad to see this group reviving. I have a CTR (hopefully) :o) in bootcamp.

My SR is set to be a CTI but she just wrote in her last letter that the RDC told them about the earthquake and that the Navy had sent in Coremen and MA's to help with survivors.  She said she could see herself doing that, but I don't imagine they send the CTI's in for rescue efforts all that often.  And her training is almost 2 years so I can't imagine it is all that easy to switch ratings after that.  Oh well.  Still proud.

 Bookster,

All that is GREAT to hear, thank you! 

CryptoDad- thank you for that information.  

Very good to know CryptoDad. I have a CTR. 

JCB's mom my CTR will be graduating just a week ahead of yours. I bet they will be at P'cola together for A school! :O)

Mom of3 I don't see your discussion but it depends on his command. My son was allowed to go to Jacksonville when he was at Corry but he still had to get an out of bounds Chit. We are about 285 miles away. All your sailor can do is apply and see if they approve it.

Yay JCB's mom! I can't believe I only have 3 more weeks until he will be able to call when he wants for the most part. I have so much to do!!!!!!!!!!! I need to make his banner, our PIR ribbons, purchase his graduation gift, plus all of our things going on here at home. Wow! The time is going to fly. So thankful!

JCB's mom you know that means that you only have 4 weeks left!!! 

My son is leaving in about 3 weeks, is there anything we should do? He said he signed up for the Navy banking at his recruiters, but I don't know what else we should do? Any of the moms that have been there have any ideas?

My son just arrived in Pensacola for A school.  It is exciting being a part of this journey with him.  Love the fact we can talk daily after RTC!!

Hello 1 Proud Mom, my son has been in Pensacola since November 27. He is about half way through A school and we are waiting to know where he will be stationed afterwards. 

Quick question--how long does it generally take to class up for JCAC? *Also: From my limited knowledge, that means from the time they get there to when their actual training starts, correct? Thanks!

My son waited almost 3 months to class up after arriving in P-cola from boot camp. He is now a CTM.

Clockard, thank you. I'm a member of that group, too :) 

SR in bootcamp now.  PIR 07/17 then to Pensacola  for A school for CTM.   Can anyone tell me how long that is for?  Months?  Thanks

deputydawgofduke,

Thank you CryptoDad.  

@deputydawgofduke- My son is CTM and is graduating from Pensacola tomorrow then he is being sent to San Diego.  He had previously been told Georgia (verbals), today he got it in writing that it is San Diego. He arrived to Pensacola November the 27th and did not start ATT (am I saying that right CryptoDad?) school until February, when he finished that he started A school and that is what he is finishing up this week.  He said he would not be moving on to San Diego until about a month so apparently he will have some time between now and then to do what exactly I have no clue.

Bookster,   thank you so much for the information.   So A school is roughly 3 months?  It sounds like your son had to wait for enough people/sailors to start a class.  Has he been happy with the  CTM program?    Thanks again

Hi Deputy, My son's PIR was early March 2012. He left for Pensacola immediately afterwards but did not class up until the end of May. He had various jobs until his first class, the basic electronics class, began. He completed that class about four weeks later, but the next class filled up and he was unable to start until mid-August. (they went alphabetically by last name and his is at the end of the alphabet) He completed A School by the end of October and shipped out to Pearl Harbor around the first part of December. He is now currently deployed on a destroyer on an eight-month deployment. He seems relatively happy with the CTM job.

Thank you so much.   Very helpful.  Thanks
