Good video Chief. I was a CTO for 22 years from 73-95. Made Chief in 8 years and CWO at 14. Retired as a W4. Loved it all. My dad as a CTOCS LDO LCDR when he retired with 26 years. My mom was a CT in 50-52, and my wife was in the 2nd group of females to rejoin the Naval Security group in the early 70s. She did 4 years as a CTT2.
brewed coffee, wrote NTRs (nothing to report) over and over.... except that one mission, ONE TIME when you are in the right place at the right time, and all that preparation really makes a difference - and you can't ever tell anybody about it.
@@JusticeNwokedi if you’re referring to the school, then it was solely the language. Learning almost a thousand words a week. Working on reading, writing, translating and speaking in the language. You HAVE to study and practice or you’ll fall behind fast. Or you considering joining?
Hi there! So, 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.

@@BobJones-hd7he LOL! Deployment is not optional in any service. There may be certain situations where they take volunteers first, but at the end of the day someone is going whether they want to or not.
do you get to pick the language that you learn? or is one just assigned to you? I've dabbled in spanish, Japanese, and arabic. I'm considering applying for this job in the Navy. however I'd not be too excited to learn Russian.
When I was in, 1998-2006, you got to choose your language out of what language group you qualified for. This was determined by the results on your language test. I think it was called the DLAB. The hardest group included Chinese, Korean, Arabic... The middle group included Russian, which I studied, and the easiest group included Spanish, German...
There are a ton of civilian jobs doing the exact same linguist job for NSA, in a bunch of different places. Federal service also counts your military service if you decide to make a career out of it.
Justin Parker Once you take the Defense Language Aptitude Battery (DLAB), you'll find out which languages you are apt to learn. You can request one, but it's dependent upon the needs of the Navy.
+Holden Mullaney You can’t study for it. If you understand basic English & grammar concepts, the test won’t be difficult. Essentially it’s a made-up language and tests your ability to work within grammar rules.

Listening to 15 minute ‘cuts’ of pure static and garble. In a TSCIF that’s either blazing hot or freezing cold 😅😂 fun stuff (USMC)
"Made it sound very James Bond" LOL that's a good recruiter right there!!
My recruiter called me today and told me that I pre-qualified. I take the test tomorrow.
Congrats!
@@JusticeNwokedi long story short, I didn’t graduate the class because I never studied lol. I’m an OS2 now stationed in Japan at the moment.

I’m not an authority on this subject, but I believe you do get deployed in every branch except the Air Force where it’s optional

What can you do with this experience after the service is over? I have conversational mandarin already but I can’t read it
