Career Transition Office(CTO)
 There are two vehicles for a Sailor to use to
transition from the Active Component(AC) to the
Reserve Component(RC): The CTO and via a
Navy recruiter.
 Transitioning via the CTO is a streamlined
process which significantly reduces the time
required to be “gained” in the RC. A faster gain
into the RC means Sailors are able to drill sooner
and become eligible for RC benefits sooner.
 Sailors must be approved for a SELRES quota via
C-way.
