I am assuming they will be making her a CT...Why is she changing form Nuke to Crypto? Also is she even in the Navy yet?
There are CTR which is collections. CTT which is technical they study radar and weapons systems. CTM is electronic maintenance used by the CT rates, CTN which is Computer Hacking. CTI which is interpretation of foreign languages.

lmao first and foremost, Im not a lesbian. Its 'he'.
Second, he followed an order too easily and made a mistake. They de-nuked him but are going to re-classify him and allow him to keep his security clearance. He was a Nuclear Electricians Mate. Cryptotech is the only option I know he picked/put on the list right now. We're waiting to see what else is offered. He only has a year left in service..I was hoping he'd be able to get out of hte Navy and get a job in energy, but now that this has happened I dont know what his options are as far as job wise in the Civilian world. I *really* dont want him to re-up...but if we must, we must.
I know CTI wouldnt be his thing. He's awful with languages...butchers them, actually.
Generally CT is closer to ET than EM. I was an ET and did a lot of CT stuff [though I worked in an environment where they only put very few CTs, so ETs fill-in].
Like was already explained one NEC does languages, one NEC does sorting/filing/routing, the rest are variations of ET.
If he gets to pick and wants to stay in, then I would have him look at the CREO manning for the rates and advancement opportunities.
There are a ton of pluses CT's have vs. Nukes.
1.) Duty stations, Most CT's can and will be stationed anywhere in the world. They have great overseas base assignments.
2.) Their support duties jobs are very interesting. Think James Bond type spy stuff.
3.) Clearance level is much > than Nukes.
4.) The job and working environment is better than the Nuke world.
5.) Sea to shore rotation is 1 overseas shore/sea vs. 1 conus shore duty.
6.) About 1/3 of their jobs are at Ft. Meade and if you want to homestead there you can.
7.) A SSBI top secret clearance is worth alot right now and all CT's are required to have this.

It's funny the Navy has never merged the ET, FC, and CTM ratings.
They should merge the comm ET's and CTM ratings and then merge FC, and radar ET's. The job skills and equipment overlap a great deal. Also some of the CTT's NEC overlap radar also.
An example of this my KG-84 A/C C-school class had 4 Navy ET's, 1 Coastie, and 2 CTM's. Everybody in the class either had or was in the SSBI Top Secret clearance process as we all either working or going to work in a tech control environment.

Every few years the Navy re-shuffles the rates around.
As I was retiring IC and QM were merging into ET.
TM merged into MM, and some FTs went to FC while other FTs went to MT.
I did Law Enforcement duties overseas as my choice of shore-duty rotation. One day I stopped at a gate to check on the gate guard, and I saw a guy walking up to a gate carrying a stack of textbooks. As he approached I asked if the books were his required coursework. He said that no he was just doing some leisure study on his off-time. I noticed that the textbooks were Russian, Chinese and Arabic. So I said to him "You spooks are nuts" and I waved him through the gate. The spook laughed and walked away. The regular gate guard freaked out, he was going to report me, blah blah, because I had called the guy [who was black] a spook. It took me 10 minutes to convince him that 'spook' meant CT, and he was clearly a CT since his form of pleasure reading was to study Russian, Chinese and Arabic all at the same time.
To me, it seemed obvious that the guy was a CT, and I was correct. But the gate guard never made the connection.
CT isn't a bad job at all. Cushier than being a Nuc. Far less dirty and considerably less dangerous.As far a civilian jobs - don't sweat it. Unless he got court martialed or something similar, there are still plenty of Nuc-type jobs he can go for. Or, he can leverage that SCI clearance he's going to get (presumably) and do some kind of interesting cleared work. Don't worry - no one is going to get bent out of shape about stuff like this in civilian-land.
{Second, he followed an order too easily and made a mistake.}. Yeah, that's one of the things that sucks about being a nuc. "I was just following orders" will get you a nod as they take away your NEC. It can sometimes put you into very difficult positions in regard to refusing orders or demanding clarification.

So you're telling me its worth a shot in civilian land?? *Hopeful look*
Crypto is a last resort to me....I really, really REALLY want us out of the military. I really really REALLY do!
Does he still need his NEC? He got that yanked.
