Language Cryptologist Navy Careers

June 16, 2008 By admin

The United States Navy has a wide variety of different jobs and military specialities, but none are as versatile as the Navy Cryptologist and Language Specialist. The Navy has at its command quite a number of submarines, aircraft, destroyers, cruisers, aircraft, Aircraft Carriers and other surface vessels and shore based commands. Despite all of the different equipment, the United States Navy considers its people and personnel as its most valuable asset. Sailors and military personnel that have different language skills are uniquely qualified to use their ability and skills to assist the Navy and possibly serve as a Cryptological Language technician. This is a highly classified position that requires adaptability, skills, intelligence and a strong character.

Serving as a Cryptologic Technician or Language Technician is a position that requires a person to work with different types of data and information, much of which may be in a different language or foreign language. You may be called to translate or interpret different communication or data materials, or even different types of classified communications material. If you know Hebrew, Spanish, Korean, French, Arabic, Russian, or other foreign languages then you may be uniquely qualified to serve or function in this job field. The specialists that serve in this job classification are trained to be experts in the interpretation, but also in the analysis of data that comes in, both of a classified and unclassified nature. If you work in this field, you may be called to be an official interpreter for a Navy or Military official, or to interpret for a member of a United States diplomatic or state department dignitary. There are often requirements for a skilled trained interpreter or cryptologist and the Navy often provides personnel on detachment to other military services and federal agencies. You may have a shore side duty station, or you may have a duty station aboard ship, dealing with communications traffic and radio data. This may be dealing with information and data of US military importance, or interpretation and handling of data from a foreign nation or foreign power.

Serving in this field you may at times cross train as a member of an aviation Aircrew, or Submarine crew, and you may be tasked to work closely with other members of the Navy or other military sister services. You must have a clean record, and never have committed a crime, either a felony or a misdemeanor.

    I am presently looking for full time work anywhere in the USA. I have extensive training and degrees in ASL interpretation and know French and am presently teaching myself Latin so as to take the Graduate Record xamination sometime in the beginning of next year. I am interested in learning as many languages as I can. I am interested in the cryptology field that is provided by the US Navy. How would I go about getting information relevant to this field?
