CTI - Cryptologic Technician Interpretive

Languages are more than just communication—they’re cultural codes that need to be analyzed and in some cases, broken. As a Cryptologic Technician Interpretive (CTI) you’re more than a linguist—you’re a cultural expert, able to translate and interpret foreign communications. The Defense Language School in Monterey, California will fully immerse you in the language for your choice—from Mandarin, to Spanish, to Arabic to Russian. After, you’ll travel the world collecting intelligence in support of the Navy. Ignorance can be a threat, but our CTIs defend by making sure we’re always in the know.
