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.

clearance. General qualifications may vary depending upon whether
you're currently serving, whether you've served before or whether
you've never served before.
