Sorta late to the game, but the algorithm must know me. Wasn't expecting to watch a video about my rate. One thing I think that people need to know before they choose IT as a rate in the Navy is that it's not just about computers. Computers are just one aspect of the IT rating. That aspect varies on the platform you are on. We work communications...but that's a very broad thing in the Navy. For example, if you're on a smaller ship...you'll work with Radio Equipment, Antennas, Computers, Servers, Information assurance, Cryptography, and other things around the ship (honestly being on a small ship was the best thing and most rewarding thing rating-wise in my opinion; even though I can't lie it sucks at times being responsible for everything at once.). If you're on a bigger platform; you'll most likely only specialize in one aspect of the rating(easier honestly, but you sorta miss out on the other aspects). With that being said, if you select IT as a rate because you want to be a sysadmin or work with computers but get sent to a carrier, you may end up in Radio and never work a day in the computer/sysadmin field. Just food for thought. I would also go on to say customer service is what our rate is there for; so if you choose IT just know that it's what you are responsible for, even if you don't like working with people. ;) Anyways, overall I love the rate and wouldn't trade it for a day. A/C workspaces and you control the internet and communication off the ship. Meaning you can always communicate to the outside world, while others may not. One of the best perks. -ITC

Oh, so sounds like the CG and NAVY did the same thing. TC (old RM's), TT's, QM's had two choices. OS or IT. OS's do the comms, stands comms watches. But looks like the Navy also tossed it CT's (our ET's did that, used to be ETN's). But though they deal with comms, sitting in a A/C room? So, who cleans, PM's the antennas? Please don't say the ET's. We (TC's) always took care of our antennas, PMs of our gear. Guess needs of a smaller service is the difference here. Hats off to all those blue water sailors working on a broken printer in heavy weather. FWIW, , back in the 80's, no one but the RM's wanted anything IT. So we got stuck with IT duties rather it was our "side job" or not". You would be a regional systems manager one tour, go somewhere else and and be in charge of radio, AND still do IT duties. Sure kept you busy. Puddle pirate sends.

@@jonesp3398 Navy IT’s organization is like a McDonald’s or Walmart. All the good workers/intelligent are typically the junior enlisted and by some dumb luck 1 decent senior enlisted. Just like McDonald’s or Walmart those smart ambitious sailors are using the job as a stepping stone and they do good work and learn as much as they can from the navy then move on to better and worthwhile things because the military in general promotes mediocracy and IT opportunity outside the military is always better if your a decent IT. Typically the ITs who stay in the navy after their first enlistment are lazy and unambitious cause they know they can’t be fired and won’t have to worry about transferring out of their rate to a more laborious rate or get kicked out because IT has high turnover rate meaning lots of people leave due to the fact that It in the navy really sets you up for civilian life.

@@jonesp3398 the average high school computer nerd is more qualified then 70 percent of the junior ITs coming into the navy aswell as those lazy it’s that I talked about before. Why do I seem so negative about the navy? Because I’m an IT myself and it’s appalling how unprofessional and low quality the rate is. My recommendation is join the navy for 4 or if you have to 6 year contract right after high school and learn as much as you can especially from IT (preferably CTN). If you are aspiring to be anything in computers the navy does provide you an opportunity to get ahead in life whether it’s through good mentor ship of a senior enlisted or through paving the way on your own because you are on your own.
