As an Information Systems Technician (IT) aboard the USS Bataan I developed a comprehensive skill set in IT and communications. My responsibilities included managing Information Systems (IS) Administration by building, configuring, deploying, and maintaining networks and information systems, while providing tiered-level customer support for software, hardware, and network issues. I established and maintained Radio Frequency (RF) communications systems, performing spectrum management to support Joint, Fleet, and tactical communications, and ensuring effective communication across the fleet through the handling and transmission of Naval messages. Additionally, I focused on Cybersecurity by implementing security controls, identifying vulnerabilities, and maintaining accreditation support documentation. My role in Communications Security (COMSEC) involved securing and managing COMSEC materials and operating the Management Client/Advanced Key Processor (MGC/AKP) for key management. Throughout my deployment, I utilized incident reporting procedures to investigate disruptions and conducted threat assessments, equipping me with the skills to support complex operations and ensure the security and functionality of information systems and communication channels.
