When you join the Navy and become a CT, not only will you be able to do a job you love while serving your country, you become part of a unique community – the Information Dominance Corps. This group of talented and bright individuals is setting the standard and paving the way as technology rapidly evolves. CTs and our IDC teammates are warfighters who serve across the Navy and on its many platforms – ships, submarines, planes – and on land as well as in cyberspace.
