How dangerous is being a CTR Navy? Husband joining, I’m really scared ?
My husband is going to become a CTR, that’s the job he picked. Anyways he leaves to boot camp soon. But I’m so so scared on the fact he’s going to be deployed. I’ve accepted the fact that yes he will be but I’m so afraid for his life!! Does anyone know how safe this job is ? I’ve looked everywhere online and I can’t find an answer. And my other question is how often and how long are CTR Navy deployments?

Hey, it really depends on duty station. Unless he gets attached onto a SpecWar unit as direct support which he probably won't as his first duty station, he'll probably spend most of his days in a dark room being bored out of his mind.

Your rating has little to do with how safe you are. CTs died on 9/11 and on the COLE. So did other ratings.
When the ship deploys you deploy. Could be a week. Could be 18 months. If on DIRSUP orders, he could be gone 300 days a year. Or 3.
Start getting used to the fact that 98% of what he does he cannot talk to you about. Ever. Get used to weird schedules especially if he is staff duty at NSA . OCONUS orders are a definite possibility and unless he’s an E4, you ain’t going with him. Hell you may not get command sponsorship even if he is.

I was the Canadian equivalent. It is not really a dangerous job at all. There is an exchange with the Canadian Forces, so when he hits the CTR2 level, he can apply for that, which is pretty cool. While they do go to sea, there are also many land postings around the world. I don't know how long they go to sea for though.

Not that dangerous at all. Yes he can be on a ship or a sub but that is safer than his driving to work every day. The number of people that get injured and killed in the military is minimum in today’s world. He might actually never deploy at all depending on what he gets assigned to. If he is assigned to a ship they can be gone 25-80% of the year, every year varies. The ship can be out for a few days, a week, a few weeks, a month, a few months or over 7 months. If he is stationed at a shore command his hours may not be Monday to Friday 7:30 am to 4 pm, they can be anything. He could also get unaccompanied orders to an overseas location for 12-18 months. You need to be prepared to handle things on your own, move with little notice and budget well, along with numerous other things. As a military wife try to get involved with the community, make some friends, do a spouse 101 class in base and enjoy wherever you are
