Hello I graduated boot camp May 2nd 2008, I was contracted Aircrew until I dropped on request a week ago. I am now contracted CTN and leave for school on 10Jun08. I am good with computers but I have no expierence with subnets or anything Disrup has posted. My school date doesn't start until july 22nd so. How is CTN A school hard easy? Also do they have phases at Corry Station? I also read it being wise to bring your car? Other than that any info that would be helpful please post.

It seems like alot of bootcamp guys (not fleet returnees) are dropped. If you actually settle down, study, and keep away from the party mode, then you will make it.

One problem with the CTN school is you will not become a CTN until after you complete "C" school. So, if you happen to complete CTN "A" school, but are dropped from "C" school, then you will probably be sent undes to the fleet (since you already were in Aircrew)..... This is the only rating I know of that you do not earn the rating until you complete "C" school.
Main thing, keep focused on school work.....

I would start working on sub netting as its not a complicated topic, but a very important one. If you are willing to buy a book I would recommend you pick up CCNA: Cisco Certified Network Associate Study Guide by Todd Lammle. His chapter on sub netting is awesome and can't hurt to start studying for your CCNA. I'm not with the Navy, but that is just good general knowledge for networking since you'll be dealing with it. I know they say work on your Security+ as well. I have it and it is not a complicated exam (I find it kinda worthless, but it's good if you're trying to get into security with nothing else in your background). Either way good luck and there are plenty of resources online to help with sub netting. You can solve a lot of problems by knowing how to sub net!

Luko-
Good advice. Subnetting is the part that seems to get everyone throughout A school and BDNA. If you can get the concept down, along with some basic networking skills, you'll do fine. Just make sure you pay very close attention to number conversions. You can know how to do it inside and out, but if you make one simple mathematical error, the problem is wrong. Same with subnetting. Just pay attention to detail and you'll be ok.
