Twenty-five Sailors from the cryptologic technician interpretive (CTI) community wrapped up a review of occupational standards for the CTI rating at the Center for Information Warfare Training (CIWT), March 10.
The biennial review allows subject matter experts to break down core tasks, job descriptions, skills and abilities of CTIs and to set the minimum required standards at each paygrade.
Occupational standards establish the basis for all Navy professional development and training tools, such as rate training manuals, personal qualification standards, course curricula and advancement exams. The CTI review consisted of a panel of enlisted E-6s through E-9s and included representatives from each of the major CTI commands.
“I was honored to be able to participate in the process and provide a voice to those CTIs who are not currently stationed at the main centers,” said Cryptologic Technician (Interpretive) 1st Class William Cruz. “It’s a great feeling knowing that our work here will help fellow linguists maximize their foreign language skills.”
The occupational standards review is at the beginning of the Naval Education and Training Command’s “End-to-End” process for creating and revising course curricula, which ensures all training meets fleet requirements and Ready, Relevant Learning standards. It also serves to align jobs in each rating with Department of Labor occupations to ensure enlisted ratings are consistent with industry-level standards.
“The review process is an opportunity to bring together the best and brightest of our rating to go over every aspect of our job and ensure we are taking the proper measures to maintain the highest standards for CTIs,” said Master Chief Cryptologic Technician (Interpretive) Russell Crandall, CTI rating training manager at CIWT. "The work this team has completed will define CTI training and advancement for years to come."
