Although a great majority of what I did was classified a general overview of my job included:
1.) The operation and managment of communications equipment: Operating radio receivers, recording equipment, typewriters, keyboards, computer consoles, and related equipment. Tuning receivers to prescribed frequencies, performing frequency search missions, or both, over specified portions of radio spectrums to locate and monitor stations and frequency use. Monitored and records communications, adding appropriate comments to assist in transcription and analysis.
2.)The transcribing and processing communications: Transcribed, translated, analyzed and reported on assigned communications. Translated spoken or written material from my target language (Russian) into English. Utilized word aids and references. Learned how to recognize essential elements of information for reporting activity. Assisted analysts in identifying, analyzing, and reporting activities.
3.) The maintaining of technical aids, logs, and records: Compiled and maintained operation records and statistics. Ensured logs, forms, and correspondence are properly completed, annotated, and distributed. Monitored and maintained handbooks, working aids, and analytical references to ensure applicability and currency as well as reviewed, updated, and compiled data for operational use.
The main key to success in my former field (and a mandatory one at that) was knowledge- not only of the Russian language but also radio communications operations theory; communications techniques; operation of acquisition, recording, and processing equipment; communications networks; formats, terminology, and theory of traffic analysis; organization of designated military forces; procedures for processing and distributing intelligence data; and methods for handling, distributing, and safeguarding military information.
