Alright, you can't have too many ex-squids, welcome aboard! Was MT a "Missile Tech" rating exclusive to sub's? We had FTM's responsible for our 16 "Harpoon" and 32 "Tomahawk" cruise missiles onboard the Big J.

MT's maintain and operate the "Special" missiles.  I knew a few people who became MT's when they were unable to make it through Nuke school. |

MT's took care of the Missiles and Launcher and FTB's the fire control portion. Both rating merged in the early 90's to MT's. One big over manned rating.

You don't know the half of it. QM's, IC's, and ET's all merged into "Nav ET's" and TM's are now MM's, but not to be confused with A-Gang or M-Div.  You know what really blows ass? Changing light bulbs and ballasts in the Reactor Compartment hours after shutdown to get ready for ORSE. Damn it's hot in there! (Hot hot, not radiation hot).

I feel your pain Prompt! Our conventional (steam, navy distillate) plant required an OPPE board prior to our recomm. In the board's infinite wisdom, they decided that every single boiler sight-glass indicator required a battle lantern with a power failure module be permanently installed and they gave us (EM's,IC's,HT's and MR's) three days to accomplish. We had eight 600 lb. B&W boilers with a total SHP of 212,000+, four Firerooms each having an upper and a lower level and a shitload of sightglasses in some pretty difficult locations. Our CHENG (a mustang O-5) did his best to shift the steam plant around our project but it was still the hottest, dirtiest and longest three days of my life but we did it, much to the surprise of the board members. According to our D.O. (a mustang 0-3), we were the first. |
