2021年2月27日 · I asked them specifically what the Navy was doing about this problem, that a CTN who has served a single tour and has enough experience and certifications to easily earn six figures doing the same work outside of the Navy, what sort of programs or incentives they were working on to keep this talent within the Navy, and the answer I received was ...

2023年4月2日 · A forum to discuss Navy Recruiters, processing at MEPS, Delayed Entry Program, Enlisted Ratings, "A" Schools, Officer Candidate School, Recruit Training Command, and transferring to your first command.

2021年5月19日 · This subreddit has definitely been more helpful than the navy website or my recruiter. I plan on joining the navy to be a CTN (subject to availability of course). I've already taken the PiCAT and qualified for CTN in that respect. Security clearance and physical ability shouldn't give me any problems. I just have a few specific questions about ...

2022年4月8日 · Peform well on your ASVAB, and don't accept any role but CTN from the crew at MEPS. Don't listen to any cross-rate advice type bullshit, you can always say no and that you only want CTN. (As far as I know they don't consider prior certs/experience probably because they have no idea what they even are.)

2020年4月7日 · Many of the students in my JCAC (CTN A School) had 4 year degrees, myself included. We joined for the training and experience. Six years as a CTN combined with the clearance, training, and free certs, will get you much further than the same time working for a random IT department. Think of it as six years in the Navy to skip 15 years civilian.

2023年5月29日 · No. It's still a CTN for all intents and purposes but the Navy is starting to bolster its cyberspace mission so the name change is a way to distinguish that the rate is differentiating itself from the cryptologic community. Congress is currently considering new a new enlisted Cyber rate and Officer designation as well.

2023年2月7日 · I’m an IS and I worked with CTNs at NSA and watched money of them leave the Navy and come back as civilians making crazy money, some without college degrees. Take whatever education opportunities you have while in the Navy, get your certs through Navy Cool. You picked a great rate, just make sure you set yourself up for success along the way.

2021年3月14日 · A lot of people hear CTN and they think "high paying job after service", which is just false if you don't get your certifications. IT and CTN both get all the same certifications paid for, and IT is arguably a more versatile as civilian experience. CTN is a good job, but if you're willing to go all in dont neglect the IT rate.

2020年3月31日 · CTN is cooler, more technical, and leads to more interesting work after the navy. Not sure what you mean by cyber officer. For officer designators, cyber is split into Information Professional Officers (manage ITs), Cryptologic Warfare Officers (manage CTNs among other flavors of CTs), and Cyber Warfare Engineering Officers (network tool ...
