New here, but sounds like there are a bunch of "shipmates" onboard.
I retired as a GMCS(SW), was on active duty from 84-09 with 17 of those years on sea duty.

Electronic Warfare Technician. 4 years, 5 months, 7 days on the same frigate. Got out in 81 as an EW1. When I became an EW, it was fairly new, having been created from the RDE rating (radarman electronic). Now EW is gone and has been absorbed by CTT (crypto tech tech). Yeah, I know, what a stupid name. They have CTI (interpreter), CTO (operator), but CT tech?

Yes Seabees REALLY are Navy! (it's a well kept secret)
Equipment Operator. 1977 to 1982, Like I heard a lot there is nothing lower in the Navy than an EO.

Hey, . . . EO, . . . whoever told you that sure don't know his life forms in the Navy.
Singularly lowest form of life (sometimes have to kick them to see if they even move, . . . and none are brave enough to bite) in the sea services are the butter bars.
Don't know a keel from a yard arm, . . . radio shack from a scullery, . . . and the only way they can tell you which side of an oncoming ship is the port side, . . . it has the red light, . . . reminds them of some of the good $3 per gallon port wine they drank as they scurried along like good little cadet college boys.
Beetle Bailey would make a better occifer than most butter bars I knew, . . . but thank God some of them actually did grow up, . . . became lew-tan-ants.
May God bless,
Dwight

Sonar Technician (surface), specifically Low Acoustic Vernier Analysis Technician on AN/SQR-17A (V1) system.
Thought it made for a "catchy" forum moniker.

I don't know if I've replied to this long running thread or not... But I was a Radioman 2nd Class Petty Officer with and NEC for (KLB-47 off line crypto device repair). I served my entire four years on the USS Rainier AE-5 an aging WW2 ammo ship, but we really got the job done and we had the Battle Efficiency E with two hash marks to show just how good we were...
I made three Wespacs between 62-66 to the Tonkin Gulf and we were there for the kick off of festivities for the Tonkin Gulf Incident on August 2, 1964 when the USS Maddox was attacked by the NVA torpedo boats. The next night the C Turner Joy was supposedly attacked (never happened) but which Johnston still used as a pretext to go to Congress and get the Tonkin Gulf Resolution passed, which really put the fire out with gasoline and ramped us up in to ten years of hell.
