USN still has the CTR rating and teaches Morse Intercept Ops at Corry 
Station, Pensacola, Florida.

Prior to being located at Corry,  Morse Intercept Ops (CTR's) were 
trained at Fort Devens, MA.

I attended Manual Morse Radio Op School at NTTC San Diego.
Most students at the time came from the SEAL community and/or Marine 
Recon BN's, with the exception
of a few of us Marines who were shipping over into the SIGINT/EW MOS's...
