Introduction and Welcome

Dear Sir or Ma'am,

My Electronics education and experience began in 1987 when I joined the US Navy. Eight years of US Navy Military experience has given me a wide range of technical, supervisory and customer support skills. In the Navy, ET (electronics technician) stands for Everything Technician. I have worked on everything from simple computer systems to major multiplexing sites. Also, military experience stresses teamwork as well as the ability to make quick on the spot decisions for problem resolution. Without these skills, the missions cannot be fulfilled.

Since then, I have worked with a local company providing technical and quality assurance in the Breath Alcohol Testing Field. I have worked with nearly every police department in the state of Ohio along with numerous other State run breath testing programs to provide real time technical customer support, electronics instrument repair, testing, calibration, and training. In addition, I am the Quality Assurance Manager, Inspection and Testing technician,

and Calibration Manager. I also perform technical setup and repair for a Process Sense Controller used by MKS Instruments.

In addition, I have taught myself various word processing, database, graphics and systems analysis programs to assist in my development of training and Quality Control procedures for my current company, along with brochure/advertisement designs for a small sideline business of my own.

I have acquired, thru my various experiences, the ability to quickly learn all types of technically oriented equipment. For example, the BAC DataMaster Breathalyzer is a very specialized piece of equipment, requiring knowledge of optics and mechanics as well as electrical, and electronic experience. I have experience in maintenance and troubleshooting of Electronic Systems. I can develop departmental policies, and procedures. I have 20 years of customer support experience, I know how to work with a customer to resolve problems to both parties satisfaction, and I have the willingness to learn new ideas, systems, policies, software, equipment and anything of a technical nature.

I would very much like to discuss a position with your company. Please contact me at your convenience.

Sincerely,

Randolph L. Martin

What is a US Navy ET (Electronics Technician)?

If you’ve got a love for circuits and computers and think you’ve got what it takes to work on some of the most advanced communications, navigation and combat-systems equipment, then the Electronics field may be for you. The world’s most advanced ships, subs, aircraft and weapon systems could not operate without their intricate and complex electronic systems. The Navy’s Electronics field is composed of men and women, who install, repair and maintain many of these electronic systems to keep the fleet fully operational.

What will you do?

You could fix and ride in many of the Navy’s machines, including helicopters (for naval Aircrewmen), submarines, ships and landing craft. This field contains a vast array of jobs, from encoding and decoding messages between ships, to employing the latest test and repair equipment on naval aircraft just before take- off. Whether you’re aboard a cruiser, a submarine or at a shore-based air facility, your skills will help keep the Navy’s state-of-the-art systems working properly. Some of the many duties/jobs available in the Electronics field include:

• Provide communications support to the fleet

• Control and operate communications systems

• Perform preventive and corrective maintenance on state-of-the-art electromechanical equipment and systems

• Maintain aircraft compass and inertial navigation systems

• Encode and decode messages

• Operate various types of mine-handling equipment

• Work with complex electronic, electrical and mechanical equipment to ensure the accuracy of Navy guided missiles and underwater weapons

• Utilize computer databases extensively to analyze electronic intelligence

• Maintain, test and repair ballistic missiles and their launching/guidance systems

Skills and training

The Navy is the leader in the highly technical field of electronics.

Enlistees are taught the fundamentals of electronics through extensive on-the-job training along with formal Navy schooling. You could also receive extensive training in the operation of communications systems and in the installation, upkeep and repair of highly sophisticated computerized equipment and systems. You may also earn Department of Labor certification in the following positions:

• Electronics Mechanic

• Computer Programmer

• Ordnance Artificer

Your extensive training might also prepare you for future careers in the following fields:

• Mechanic (radio, electronics, airplane)

• Electronics Technician

• Electrical Instrument Repair

• Data Communications Specialist

• Writer, Technical Publications

• Intelligence Specialist

• Rocket Engine Component Mechanic

• Electronic Intelligence Operations Specialist

Career outlook

Electronics is an immense and growing career field with many job opportunities. In the Navy, you’ll learn teamwork, attention to detail, and leadership, along with computer and electronics operation and repair skills that transfer directly to the civilian job market.
