Navy NEC Codes - Sonar Technician

Navy NEC Codes - unterwasserschallgert TechnicianNavy NEC Codes - Sonar TechnicianThe Navy Sonar Technician is highly trained in electronics and acoustics of ships, submarines, and oceanographic issues. Interpreting data received from sensitive sonar equipment and sub-surface fire control systems is the main responsibility of the sonar technician. Whether on ship or submarine, the sonar technician is critical to the safety and mission capability of the vessel and crew. The Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC) system supplements the enlisted rating structure in identifying personnel on active or inactive duty and billets in manpower authorizations. NEC codes identify a non-rating wide skill, knowledge, aptitude, or qualification that must be documented to identify both people and billets for management purposes. For example, if a Navy police officer ( MA Master at Arms ) receives specialized training as a K-9 Dog Handler, he/she would be awarded NEC MA-2005. From that point on, the sailor could be assigned to Navy law enforcement duties involving military working dogs.
