Job Description:
ABOUT
The most secretive of Navy vessels, a submarine requires a select
community of specially trained professionals to operate its
classified, highly advanced hardware. The Sailors in the Submarine
Electronics Computer Field (SECF) work with a submarine's sonar,
weapons, communications and navigation systems. The training is
rigorous and the career opportunities are equally impressive.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Within Submarine Electronics, there are four distinct focus areas
that have their own training paths and job descriptions.
Fire Control Technician (FT)
FTs operate, test and maintain submarine combat control systems.
They participate in weapons handling functions and operate and
maintain non-tactical computer systems and peripherals. They are
responsible for a huge array of weapons, which may include
torpedoes, Tomahawk-- cruise missiles and even nuclear ballistic
missiles capable of reaching anywhere in the world.
Sonar Technician, Submarine (STS)
STSs specialize in underwater acoustic technologies. They operate a
submarine's sonar, oceanographic equipment, and auxiliary sonar to
conduct underwater surveillance, collect scientific data and track
enemy targets. They also perform maintenance on the highly
sensitive, highly classified sonar hardware.
Electronics Technician (ET/RF AND ET/NAV)
ETs focus on installing, administering and maintaining onboard
communications and navigations systems. ET/RFs work with and
maintain submarine radio communication equipment, systems and
programs (including submarine LAN systems). ET/NAVs specialize in
submarine navigation and radio equipment, systems and programs.
There are also electronics careers that require advanced nuclear
training and involve working with nuclear reactor control,
propulsion and power generation on Navy nuclear-powered submarines
or aircraft carriers. Learn about opportunities in nuclear
operations.
WORK ENVIRONMENT
As a Navy Submarine electronics specialist, you may serve at sea or
ashore, operating and repairing systems and equipment on Navy
submarines at bases, ports of call, or while underway in
undisclosed ocean waters. Since deployments are secret and
stealthy, your time in a submarine may last for several months,
sometimes with little or no time on the surface.
TRAINING & ADVANCEMENT
Upon completion of initial 7-9 week Recruit Training (known as Boot
Camp), those pursuing positions in the Navy submarine electronics
field report to Basic Enlisted Submarine School in Groton, Conn.,
for 4 weeks instruction in basic submarine systems. From there,
Sailors attend "A" School in Groton, Conn., to receive formal Navy
schooling in their specialty area. There they receive extensive
training in electricity, electronics, computers, digital systems,
fiber optics and electronics repair.
"A" School for FTs - This 27- to 33-week course in Groton, Conn.,
provides a basic knowledge of electronics, mathematics and computer
theory to support the operation and basic maintenance of submarine
weapons control systems. It includes group instruction and training
in practical application and equipment labs. Further training may
be received at a "C" School that provides learning in advanced
maintenance, TLAM (Tomahawk-- Land-Attack Missile) Strike and both
computer and computer language skills, including maintenance,
operations and security of systems operated and maintained.
"A" School for STSs - This 18-week course in Groton, Conn.,
provides a basic knowledge of electrical skills, electronics,
computers and sonar fundamentals. It includes group instruction and
training in practical application and equipment labs. Further
training may be received at a "C" School that provides advanced
maintenance instruction on specific equipment as well as Advanced
Oceanography and Acoustic Intelligence Analysis.
"A" School for ETs (ET/RF and ET/NAV) - This nine-week course in
Groton, Conn., provides a basic knowledge of electricity,
electronics and technical computer skills. This is immediately
followed by a 14-28-week course - in either Groton, Conn.; Kings
Bay, Ga.; or Bangor, Wash. - that provides further training
specific to the communications (ET/RF) or navigations (ET/NAV)
specialty, as well as assignment to a fast attack or ballistic
missile submarine. The course includes group instruction and
training in practical application and equipment labs. Further
training may be received at a "C" School that provides advanced
maintenance instruction on specific equipment.
Navy Nuclear Field (NF) Program
To learn more about the additional training involved with becoming
a nuclear-trained ET, refer to the Navy Nuclear Field (NF) Program
section on the nuclear operations page.
Promotion opportunities are regularly available but competitive and
based on performance. It's also important to note that specialized
training received and work experience gained in the course of
service can lead to valuable credentialing and occupational
opportunitiesin related fields.
To learn more about the specific training path for any of the focus
areas within the field of submarine electronics, locate a
recruiter.
EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES
Beyond offering access to professional credentials and
certifications, Navy technical and operational training in the
field of submarine electronics can translate to credit hours toward
a bachelor's or associate degree through the American Council on
Education. You may also continue your education through
opportunities like the following:
* Navy College Program and Tuition Assistance
* Post-9/11 GI Bill
QUALIFICATIONS & REQUIREMENTS
A high school diploma or equivalent is required to become an
Enlisted Sailor in the Submarine Electronics field in the Navy.
Those seeking a position in this community must be U.S. citizens
who can meet eligibility requirements for a security clearance.
General qualifications may vary depending upon whether you're
currently serving, whether you've served before or whether you've
never served before.
