Work Environment
Information Systems Technicians serve in versatile roles both
afloat and ashore - on ships or at communications stations in the
United States or overseas. Typical work involves mental analysis
and problem solving and takes place in clean, air-conditioned
electronic equipment space or computer rooms. Duties may be
performed individually or as part of a team.
Serving part-time as a Navy Reserve Sailor, your duties will be
carried out during your scheduled drilling and training periods.
During monthly drilling, Information Systems Technicians in the
Navy Reserve typically work at a location close to their homes.
For annual training, Information Systems Technicians may serve
anywhere in the world, whether on a ship at sea or bases and
installations on shore.

responsibilities of Navy Reserve Sailors .
Training & Advancement
Upon completion of initial 7-9 week Recruit Training (known as Boot
Camp), those pursuing an Information Systems Technician position
receive formal Navy schooling at "A" School in Pensacola, FL. For
approximately 24 weeks, they develop the working knowledge it takes
to be Navy IT specialists in preparation for their first assignment
on a ship or at a shore station.
Starting with extensive technical preparation in everything from
database design to computer networking to communications systems,
skills continue to be enhanced through on-the-job training and
experience. Promotion opportunities are regularly available but
competitive and based on performance. It's also important to note
that specialized training received and work experience gained in
the course of service can lead to valuablecredentialing and
occupational opportunitiesin related fields.
Most of what you do in the Navy Reserve is considered training. The
basic Navy Reserve commitment involves training a minimum of one
weekend a month (referred to as drilling) and two weeks a year
(referred to as Annual Training) - or the equivalent.
Information Systems Technicians in the Navy Reserve serve in an
Enlisted role. Before receiving the ongoing professional training
that comes with the job, initial training requirements must be
met.
For current or former military Enlisted servicemembers: Prior
experience satisfies the initial Recruit Training requirement - so
you will not need to go through Boot Camp again
For those without prior military experience: You will need to meet
the initial Recruit Training requirement by attending Boot Camp for
seven to nine weeks in Great Lakes, IL. This training course will
prepare you for service in the Navy Reserve and count as your first
Annual Training.
Jobs in Navy Information Technology involve a high level of
responsibility and maturity in dealing with highly technical
systems and classified information. Often, the extensive Navy
Reserve training in this area converts directly to college credit.
Advanced technical training may be available for qualified
individuals.

certifications, Navy technical and operational training in the
field of information technology can translate to credit hours
toward a bachelor's or associate degree through the American
Council on Education . You may also continue your education through
opportunities like the following:
