What are CTN's eligible for?

Be forewarned though - I don't know about CTN, but getting aircrew as CTI is pretty hard right now and is likely to become harder in the future.

As far as I know it is either exceedingly difficult or impossible to get aircrew orders straight out of DLI, most people go to the watch floor and a few (generally the best) get direct support. So you go do watch floor for a few years and then if your evals are really good and you pursue aircrew you might get the orders. And then you have to pass Aircrew School and SERE School. But Navy's phasing out the EP-3s that CTIs usually fly on in favor of drones within the next 6 years or so who knows what'll happen then.

And all that's assuming you get a language that does aircrew to begin with, not all of them do.

Subs is easier to get as far as I understand, since not everyone wants it.

It's all conjecture at this point, but the P-8A has way too much empty space inside of it, so they're very likely going to put ELINT/SIGINT and BAMS stations into it.

Are there other options for a CTN, like training to run missions with SEALs or something like that?
Just curious...
