From our Ratings page...

Career Path After Recruit Training

Enlistees are taught the fundamentals of this rating through on-the-job training or formal Navy schooling. Advanced technical and operational training is available in this rating during later stages of career development.

Basic Enlisted Submarine School, (BESS) Groton, CT. 4 weeks of indoctrination in basic submarine systems.

Class "A" Technical school and specialty pipeline school, Groton, CT. 27-33 weeks of basic electricity, electronics and computer technical knowledge and skills and preparation for combat systems specialties and assignment on a fast attack or ballistic missile submarine.

After "A" school and Basic Enlisted Submarine School, Electronics Technicians (FT)’s are assigned to serve on all types of submarines and at shore facilities in the United States and overseas. During a 20 year period in the Navy, FT’s spend about 60 percent of their time assigned to fleet units and 40 percent to shore stations.
Note: All applicants must read and understand the Submarine Volunteer Statement of Understanding
