March 21, 2008 By admin

Working in the Navy as an Intelligence Specialist is some of the most exciting duty there is available as an enlisted person.

The electronic gear is truly state of the art, and consists of many different types of equipment, such as IFF (Identification – Friend or Foe) systems.

    My parents are not U.S. citizens, however they are legal residents. Would that have an effect on me being able to get a job as an Intelligence Specialist or under Submarine Electronics?

    I heard that if an IS doesn’t want to go out on a boat, they’ll never have to, just work from land the whole time. Is this true?
