Information Systems Technician (IT)

As an ITS, as an information systems technician, you've got to make sure that all your equipment is running 24/7. You've got to make sure your commanding officer can check his data, his emails; make sure that your communication circuits are running so you can download and broadcast all your information no matter where you are. Navy is global. We have the largest Navy in the world, so we've got to make sure we can communicate with any part of our Navy 24/7. ITS onboard submarines can be a jack-of-all-trades 'cause you're only a group of four fixing a submarine 360 feet long. You own all the equipment. ITS is someone that is trained as a hardware/ software technician that specializes in administration and data recovery of any ITS, whether it's digital, physical, or proprietary knowledge. He's basically that one guy onboard a submarine that can restore, recover, and maintain. So an ITS instructor is basically an instructor who's served onboard a submarine as an ITS - an information systems technician. About every 18 months, technology as a whole changes and you see new products on the market. So my curriculum may not be completely up to date at that point and that's where as an instructor I bridge that gap. This is what I've personally dealt with. So, when we get a brand new ITS out of the training pipeline, they are far more knowledgeable than anybody could have ever expected them to be. So, college will get you ready for a job; it won't get you ready for life. The Navy will. The Navy can be a steppingstone for a great career path or it can be a job that leads you to a great career path outside the Navy in the civilian world. You just got to figure out what you want to do and let the Navy know so they can help you out to the best of their abilities. I'm Petty Officer Gomez, Information Systems Technician.

Description
Information systems technicians operate and maintain information systems, facilitating system utilization. In many companies, these technicians assemble data sets and other details needed to build databases. This includes data management, procedure writing, writing job setup instructions, and performing program librarian functions. Information systems technicians assist in designing and coordinating the development of integrated information system databases. Information systems technicians also help maintain Internet and Intranet websites. They decide how information is presented and create digital multimedia and presentation using software and related equipment.
Information systems technicians install and maintain multi-platform networking computer environments, a variety of data networks, and a diverse set of telecommunications infrastructures. Information systems technicians schedule information gathering for content in a multiple system environment. Information systems technicians are responsible for the operation, programming, and configuration of many pieces of electronics, hardware and software. ITs often are also tasked to investigate, troubleshoot, and resolve end-user problems. Information systems technicians conduct ongoing assessments of short and long-term hardware and software needs for companies, developing, testing, and implementing new and revised programs.
Information systems technicians cooperate with other staff to inventory, maintain and manage computer and communication systems. Information systems technicians provide communication links and connectivity to the department in an organization, serving to equipment modification and installation tasks. This includes:
- local area networks : computer network covering a local area, like a home, office or small group of buildings such as a college.
- wide area networks : computer network covering a wide geographical area, involving a vast array of computers.
- minicomputer systems : multi-user computers which make up the middle range of the computing spectrum, usually single-user systems (such as personal computers).
- Macro-computer systems : Usually large multi-user systems (such as mainframe computers) for bulk data processing such as censuses, industry/consumer statistics, ERP, and bank transaction processing.
- associated peripheral devices
Additionally, Information systems technicians can conduct training and provide technical support to end-users, providing this for a departments (sometimes across multiple organizations).
