Job Description:
Languages are more than just communication-they're cultural
codes that need to be analyzed and in some cases, broken. As a
Cryptologic Technician Interpretive (CTI) you're more than a
linguist-you're a cultural expert, able to translate and interpret
foreign communications. The Defense Language School in Monterey,
California will fully immerse you in the language for your
choice-from Mandarin, to Spanish, to Arabic to Russian. After,
you'll travel the world collecting intelligence in support of the
Navy. Ignorance can be a threat, but our CTIs defend by making sure
we're always in the know.
Cryptologic Technicians Interpretive (CTIs), serve as the Navy's
experts in linguistics (including Arabic, Chinese, Korean,
Persian-Farsi, Russian and Spanish) and deciphering information in
other languages. Their responsibilities include:
Cryptologic Technicians Interpretive can expect a clean,
comfortable office-type or small technical laboratory-type
environment while on shore duty and a variety of air, surface and
subsurface platforms while on sea duty. Their work is of high
interest to command and decision-making levels. It is mostly
mental, involving foreign language materials. Training: Upon
completion of initial training at Recruit Training Command Great
Lakes (known as Boot Camp), you'll report for specialized training,
including: Class "A" School Phase I Defense Language Institute
(27-64 weeks) in Monterey, CA, for comprehensive foreign language
instruction. After "A" school, CTIs are usually assigned to their
respective Center of Excellence shore station. While assigned to
these shore stations, CTIs are often required to perform temporary
assignments aboard aircraft, surface ships and craft and submarines
in support of unit commanders. Beyond offering access to
professional credentials and certifications, Navy technical and
operational training in the field of intelligence can translate to
credit hours toward a bachelor's or associate degree through the
American Council on Education. A high school diploma or equivalent
is required to become an Enlisted Sailor in the Navy. Those seeking
a Cryptologic Technician Interpretive position, including all
family members, must be U.S. citizens. Applicants must also meet
eligibility requirements for a Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented
Information security clearance. Normal hearing is also required.
They should have exceptionally good character, the ability to learn
foreign languages, above average writing and speaking skills, a
good memory, curiosity, resourcefulness, an orientation toward
ideas and information and the ability to keep accurate records and
work with details. Adaptability to a wide range of work activities
and environments and an interest in technology and willingness to
acquire computerized skills are also important. Applicants for this
rating should be aware that the duties of a Cryptologic Technician
Interpretive sometimes require assignment aboard surface vessels,
submarines and aircraft. If otherwise physically qualified for
submarine or aerial flight duty, applicants must affirm their
willingness to serve aboard any such unit if assigned upon
completion of language training.
