Fellow ITs?

CTN definitely deals with computers and security. IT does also though. CTT and IS are definitely not what you are looking for.

I am an IT. I signed a six year contract which got me CompTIA A+ and Sec+ certifications plus some Cisco Networking and Microsoft Server classes. I was given the System Administrator track. It is also possible to get the Radio Communications track. you don't get to choose and eventually you will learn both skills if you are a good IT.

I think IT has the most to offer of any rate if you intend to continue your career civilian side after getting out, whether it's after 4 years or 20+. It's what you make of it. If you work hard and use the benefits the navy gives you like tuition assistance and COOL, you can come out with a degree and a whole list of certifications. I also see people who spend all day on facebook and will get out with nothing more than some work experience. Good Luck!
