foreign capabilities, photo reconaiss-
ance, and recognition of foreign
equipment.

SPECIAL DUTY OFFICER —
CRYPTOLOGY
The field of cryptology combines two
osite skills — cryptography and cryp
tanalysis.
Cryptography is the art of disguising
communications to protect them. Cryp
tanalysis is the art of deciphering coded
communications.
Each year a very limited number of
applicants are selected to attend Officer
Candidate School as prospective cryp
tologic officers. Those who succeed are
commissioned and then assigned to the
Navy Security Group. Because of the
highly technical nature of the Navy Se
curity Group’s work, scientific and tech
nical backgrounds such as electrical
engineering, math, physics and compu
ter science/data processing are pre
ferred.
The Navy Security Group also sends
a limited number of officers to study
languages, primarily Russian and Chin
ese, at the Defense Language Institute.
To be selected for language instruction,
an officer must have demonstrated an
aptitude for languages in previous
schooling or achieved a satisfactory
grade on the Foreign Language Ap
titude Test.
We can’t describe the day-to-day
I workings of the Navy Security Group or
: the specific duties of cryptologic officers
j because they are largely classified.
' However, we can say that during the
course of their careers cryptologic offi
cers can look forward to a variety of
challenging assignments.
SPECIAL DUTY OFFICER —
GEOPHYSICS
The knowledge and teamwork
needed to solve meteorological, ocean
ographic and hydrographic problems
form an important and highly spe
cialized area of naval operations — an
area that requires officers whose ranks
are small in number but large in terms
of technical expertise.
Applicants must have a degree in
meteorology, oceanography, geodesy
or another field of earth science, physi
cal science or engineering. Other re
quirements include two semesters of
calculus and two semesters of calculus-
based physics. An introduction to com
puter systems management, photo-
grammetry and cartography is viewed
as a plus. A degree in marine biology,
geology or chemistry, unsupported by
work in mathematics, physics,
oceanography and meteorology, is not
sufficient for entry into this career field.
Newly commissioned geophysics of
ficers normally are sent to one of the
Naval Oceanography Command cen
ters, facilities or detachments. The
Fleet Numerical Oceanography Center
and oceanographic survey units are al
so possible assignments.
Primary emphasis is on operational
fleet support. Typical tours include op
erational meteorological and oceano
graphic forecasting, interfacing with
Navy research and development ef
forts, and conducting oceanographic
surveys.
Geophysics officers are exposed to
great diversity in the application of three
primary sciences within the Navy and
the Department of Defense (DOD), as
well as through interface with non-DOD
and international agencies. This fosters
professional growth and enables these
officers to assume positions of increas
ing responsibilities as their careers
progress.
SPECIAL DUTY OFFICER —
INTELLIGENCE
A select, limited number of college grad
uates qualify each year as prospective
naval intelligence officers. They first attend
either the Aviation Officer Candidate
School in Pensacola, Florida, where they
train with Navy pilots and flight officers, or
the Officer Candidate School in Newport,
Rhode Island, where they train with pros
pective surface warfare officers.
Upon commissioning, they begin the
basic intelligence course for Navy officers
at the Armed Forces Air Intelligence Train
ing Center, Lowry Air Force Base, Denver,
Colorado.
This rigorous training is normally fol
lowed by a three-year tour of duty aboard
ship, at a shore-based aviation squadron,
or a major staff headquarters.
Typical functions of the newly commis
sioned intelligence officer include main
taining plots of enemy forces, briefing
pilots and senior officers on the current
enemy situation, debriefing pilots after
missions and compiling the information ob
tained, operating shipboard intelligence
processing facilities, analyzing aerial
photographs, and maintaining escape in
and evasion plan.
The primary function of a naval intelli
gence officer is to assist the commander in
decisionmaking.
SUPPLY CORPS
The Supply Corps, the huge arm of the
Navy that tends to its material re
quirements, offers a fascinating array of
challenging career opportunities, particu
larly to those with a college background in
business or management.
The first assignment for all new Supply
Corps officers is the Navy Supply Corps
officers is the Navy Supply Corps School
in Athens, Georgia. Here officers are in
structed in the basic courses required to
qualify them for general supply manage
ment at the junior officer level. Subjects
taught include disbursing, personnel man
agement, food service and retail opera
tions management, and introduction to
quantitative management.
Following this training, most officers are
ordered to jobs at sea where they serve as
heads of departments on small ships or as
assistants to senior supply officers aboard
larger ships.
Supply Corps officers, like other Navy
officers, are encouraged to plan their
careers and to take advantage of further
educational opportunities. There are many
billets open to officers in the Supply Corps
which require specialized education in
such management areas as systems in
ventory, finance, procurement, transporta
tion, merchandising, food service, petro
leum, operations research/systems analy
sis, computer systems and general supply.
CIVIL ENGINEER
CORPS (CEC)
The naval shore establishment is
where Navy men and women and their
families live, work and play. It is homes,
schools, streets, parks and factories,
hospitals, science and research cen
ters, airports, docks, canals and radio
stations, railroads, communication sys
tems and — oddly enough for the Navy
— millions of acres of timberland, and
oil and mineral deposits.
One group of Navy officers manages
this incredible mix of military and civi
lian facilities: the Navy Civil Engineer
Corps (CEC).
The CEC is a relatively small group of
officers, all of whom are engineers or
architects.
Applicants for a commission in the
CEC will benefit by obtaining their engi
neer-in-training (EIT) certificate during
their senior year at college. All CEC
officers are encouraged to obtain their
professional engineer license when
they have gained the required experi
ence.
CEC applicants must have at least a
bachelor’s degree in engineering from
an institution accredited by the Accred
itation Board for Engineering and Tech
nology. Preferred fields are civil, me
chanical, electrical, ocean, architectur
al, petroleum or construction engineer
ing. Degrees in engineering technology
are not qualifying, but architecture de
grees accredited by the National Ar
chitectural Accrediting Board, Inc., are
acceptable.
There are few organizations in the
world that offer so many engineering
and construction challenges as the
CEC. Challenges include planning, de
sign and construction of Navy bases,
which are often the size of small cities
and include just as many different kinds
of facilities, to the engineering and de
sign of fixed structures on the ocean
floor. These challenges can offer enor
mously satisfying carer opportunities to
those who qualify.
