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.

Full time Part time
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 .
There are no part-time jobs available for this career track.
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.
There are no part-time jobs available for this career track.
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, CT, for
4 weeks instruction in basic submarine systems. From there, Sailors
attend "A" School in Groton, CT, 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, CT,
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, CT, 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, CT, provides a basic knowledge of electricity, electronics
and technical computer skills. This is immediately followed by a
14-28-week course - in either Groton, CT; Kings Bay, A; or Bangor,
WA - 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.

training received and work experience gained in the course of
service can lead to valuable credentialing and occupational
opportunities in related fields.
