Using a variety of radiocommunications gear to monitor worldwide marine environmental broadcasts, the AG's maintain a continuous track of the weather situation. ln addition to the more familiar aspects of the weather analyses and forecasting, AG's also pro- duce tactically signiHcant products which run the gamut from radar and communications analyses and forecasts to infrared visibility forecasts and so- nar range forecasts and more. They are ready to provide tailored tactical environmental support anywhere in the world for ship, aircraft and subma- rine operations. The origin of the AG rating dates baclc to World War I, during 191Z when some 200 men from var- ious ratings received training in meterology and were designated 'CAerological personnel with the rating QMA for Quartermaster Aerological.

The DP rate first appeared in the Navy as Machine Ac- countant KMAQ somewhere around 1949. Their job then was the same as it is now, but the equipment was ofa very basic design with limited capabilities. In 1967 the Navy changed the designator to DP. Today's Data-Processing Technicians work with the most up-to- date equipment available, and are constantly extending the frontiers of their fast-growing field. W-- ..
