The guy is now a Mustang. He's a Ensign stationed at the Fort.

Wow, what a great accomplishment! I wonder what he's doing now.

Normally, you should be able to make E6. However, it is possible to make E7 (read my link below)... My son was a 15 month E5. To make E6 he need to wait 3 years after he became an E5. He could actually take it one year earilier (at your 2 year point after becoming an E5) if he gets a Early Promote (EP) evaluation.
Here is a great link about a 6yr E7 (Chief).... Man, this guy was promoted quick, and it really ticked off the Chiefs community. But heck, the guy earned it....

That's okay, Craig - links are very useful, at least to me. Thanks for posting it in the discussion. It's so much easier to have the links all in one place.

Here is another question for you Craig. Since CTN's pretty much all enlist for 6 years these days, if you reach CTN3 (E-4) before the end of year one, what rank is achievable by the end of your 6 year enlistment?

Patti, boy this is one subject that really ticks me off about the Navy. Yes they will tell your sailors that they get x amount of credits just for attending CTN school. What they fail to tell you is that the only ones that will accept them all is from some obsolete college in the middle of no where that will give you those credits. Your sailors will tell you, I am eligible for my associates degree once I complete CTN school. You should tell them, "If you get your associates within 6 months, then I will give you $1000, if you don't you pay me $200".... Guaranteed you will be $200 richer after 6 months, Sailors still need to earn the Core class credits... . But yes, the credits will be shown in the ACE guide.

Clockard, I just did another link.... I just can't help it.....

Does anyone know if they receive any college credit for the material covered in their 6-month CTN training? My son went in to the Navy with an Associate's Degree (AS) and plans to earn his BS in Computer Science over the next 5+ years of his enlistment.

Thanks, Terrilynn! Just when I was going to tell Craig that we would probably be asking him a question like this, lol.

My son is currently in the CTN program and the Navy flew his family out to live with him. However, they can not live on base in base housing because "students" do not qualify for base housing. Also the dependants need to be listed on his/her enlistment papers. I think my son receives a housing allowance but I am not sure. There are several really nice town house communities not far from base that have special lease options for military families.

Clockard, you'd think I would remember to post in the link section, but I always forget... Man, I'm getting old.....

Second question for anyone ~ Since CTN school has changed the schooling from 3 months to 6 months... Do the married sailors meet the requirements to bring their families to Pensacola at the cost of the Navy. (ie does the Navy concider this a PCS move?).... It's at the dividing line and I don't know how the school is handling it....Can someone ask their sailor who is now at Corry in school.
