EC Have you ever wondered, with a ship this size, just how much electronic equipment is on board? Well let me tell you, from the voice of experience that there are quite a few pieces spread throughout the KENNEDY. Our. iob, in EC Division, is to maintain all the communication egutpment, plus some other equipment such as sonar SINS 1 hips Internal Nav1?ation Systemj, and the Television system on board KENNED . If you re not a Radioman, you probably don't hear of us or what we do very much. It's not the world s most glamorous iob! Most Electronic Techs go to the Navy's Electronic A school for 48 weeks before ever seeirzg a ship. Even then, they're not finished yet, as most attend schools on a certain piece of gear. A ' C school is a school that lasts from a very short time up to a long six months. It covers only one subiect and qualifies a person to work on that piece of gear which he went to school or. We don't really follow any set working routine, ,for we can be, and often are called to work in the wee hours o the morning. When there's a iob to do, we'll be there until it's fixed or replaced. If you're one who likes electronics, this is the place to be. My Rersonallgeelirag is that it's one of the better divisions on board ENNE Y. e'll be there long after the crowd's gone to keep up the Big John tradition. Sgphen D.
