Fred became a CTR2 while in the reserves.

On boarding Kawishiwi, there was an overage of CT’s (back then they called them “Communication Technicians”) so they blessed me with a rate change to PN.  The Navy decided everyone knew the moniker “Communication Technician” was more euphemistic than accurate, so they renamed us “Cryptologic Technicians” which more accurately described what we did. After my four years, I got out.  Later I joined the reserves where I was re-designated a CT, and went from CTRSN to CTR2 in about three years.  I lost the crow because I was out for more than 5 years.
