RESPONSIBILITIES

specialized computer-assisted communications equipment, video
display terminals and electronic/magnetic tape recorders
* Exploiting signals of interest to identify, locate and report
worldwide threats
* Providing tactical and strategic signals intelligence, technical
guidance, and information warfare support to surface, subsurface,
air and special warfare units.
WORK ENVIRONMENT
Cryptologic Technicians perform a variety of duties worldwide, at
numerous overseas and stateside shore commands; aboard surface
ships, aircraft and submarines; and with Naval Special Warfare -
generally dividing time between assignments ashore and afloat.
Duties could be performed in an office setting, lab-type setting,
specialized maintenance shop, secure space or watch
environment.
As a CT, you may work independently or as part of small,
coordinated teams - ultimately under the supervision of Information
Warfare Officers (four-year degree required) or Cyber Warfare
Engineers (four-year degree required).
TRAINING & ADVANCEMENT
Upon completion of initial 7-9 week Recruit Training (known as Boot
Camp), those pursuing a Cryptologic Technician role report to
either Pensacola, Fla., or Monterey, Calif., to receive formal Navy
schooling in their specialty area within the field of cryptology.

One takes place at the Defense Language Institute, Monterey,
Calif., and is anywhere from 27 to 64 weeks long. Phase Two is 12

approximately 26 weeks in duration. The schools are located in
Pensacola, Fla.
CTN training - Class "A" School is 26 weeks long and located in
Pensacola, Fla.
CTM training - Class "A" School is approximately 10 weeks in
duration and located in Pensacola, Fla.

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
opportunities in related fields.

opportunities like the following:
