Been in the Navy since I was 20 (back in 1995). I'm an STG1 (SW/IUSS). That means I'm an E-6 Surface Sonar Tech; the SW is Surface Warfare and the IUSS is Integrated Undersea Survelliance.
A Sonar Tech is a dude that hunts for submarines...........but sub's have Sonar Tech's as well and they hunt for other subs and surface ships. Think Jonesy from the Hunt for Red October.
I'm also a SAR (Search and Rescue) Swimmer. Went to school back in 99 I think? Been doing it for a while and have about 15 rescues under my belt. If you don't know what a SAR Swimmer is...............hmm.....I got it. That movie called The Perfect Storm? The dudes that jumped out of the helo's to rescue those people. That's it.
