RESPONSIBILITIES
Within Navy Cryptology, there are distinct focus areas that have
their own training paths and job descriptions. Each CT role works
under the oversight of Cryptologic Warfare Officers (four-year
degree required) or Cyber Warfare Engineers (four-year degree
required) - and potentially both.

airborne, shipborne and land-based radar signals. Their
responsibilities include:
* Operating electronic intelligence-receiving and direction-finding
systems, digital recording devices, analysis terminals, and

deceive electronic sensors and defeat radar-guided weapons
systems
* Providing technical and tactical guidance in support of surface,
subsurface, air and special warfare operations
Cryptologic Technician Networks (CTN) - CTNs serve as experts in
communication network defense and forensics. Their responsibilities
include:

* Providing computer network risk mitigation and network
vulnerability assessments and incident response/reconstruction
* Providing network target access tool development

Navy and Department of Defense missions
Cryptologic Technician Maintenance (CTM) - CTMs serve as experts in
the preventive and corrective maintenance of sophisticated
cryptologic equipment, networks and systems. Their responsibilities
include:

cryptologic networks, physical security systems, electronic
equipment, antennas, personal computers, auxiliary equipment,
digital and optical interfaces, and data systems
* Configuring, monitoring and evaluating Information Operations

Cryptologic Technician Collection (CTR) - CTRs serve as experts in
intercepting signals. Their responsibilities include:
* Analyzing and reporting on communication signals using computers,
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.
This consists of technical "A" School and possibly advanced "C"
School or "F" School.

One takes place at the Defense Language Institute, Monterey,
Calif., and is anywhere from 27 to 64 weeks long. Phase Two is 12
weeks long. Class "F" School is conducted at the Regional Center

CTT training - Class "A" School is approximately 17 weeks long.
After "A" school, some CTTs will attend a Class "C" School that is
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.
CTR training - Class "A" School is approximately 22 weeks long. The
school is 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.
To learn more about the specific training path for any of the focus
areas within the field of cryptology, locate a recruiter.

certifications, Navy technical and operational training in the

Education. You may also continue your education through
opportunities like the following:
* Navy College Program and Tuition Assistance
* Post-9/11 GI Bill
