Where are some places that CTT's commonly get stationed at? What would be best for a CTT fresh out of "A" School, a ship or shore duty? How do they differ, aren't we basically EWs when on a ship?
Your chances of getting home ported in Norfolk is pretty good, though dont be surprised if you catch a ship that's deployed. But your chances are pretty good. As for where you can get stationed. Anything from the DIA in Washington DC, to the USS Enterprise. As for ship/shore duty, couldnt tell you which way to go. But it certainly wouldnt hurt to go to a ship.
You are most likely going to get a ship only one or two in each class gets shore duty (and if you are an AEF-CTT you don't have the option of going shore duty on your first tour). Getting a ship out of Norfolk is fairly easy.
