Core Skills

  • Communications terminal and system interface configuration
  • Terminal database maintenance and account administration
  • Transmit terminal fault isolation and component replacement
  • Hardware and software preventive maintenance

Civilian Career Paths

Career associations are editorial assessments of the cited evidence, not an official crosswalk unless the evidence explicitly says so. O*NET supplies civilian occupation information, not proof of a military match. Related experience does not confer civilian qualifications. Tasks and tools below describe civilian work, not military training.

Telecommunications Equipment Installers and Repairers, Except Line Installers

Installing and configuring LBUCS transmit terminals, isolating faults, and replacing components transfer directly to telecommunications equipment installation and repair.

How to prepare: Complete a hands-on telecommunications repair lab that uses circuit diagrams and test meters to isolate faults and verify repaired equipment against specifications.

What the civilian work involves
  • Test circuits and components of malfunctioning telecommunications equipment to isolate sources of malfunctions, using test meters, circuit diagrams, polarity probes, and other hand tools.
  • Test repaired, newly installed, or updated equipment to ensure that it functions properly and conforms to specifications, using test equipment and observation.
  • Assemble and install communication equipment such as data and telephone communication lines, wiring, switching equipment, wiring frames, power apparatus, computer systems, and networks.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Cisco IOS

Network and Computer Systems Administrators

LBUCS account administration, database maintenance, interface configuration, and hardware and software troubleshooting provide a foundation for broader civilian systems administration.

How to prepare: Build a Linux lab with user accounts and network interfaces, then document how you diagnose and restore a deliberately broken configuration.

What the civilian work involves
  • Maintain and administer computer networks and related computing environments, including computer hardware, systems software, applications software, and all configurations.
  • Diagnose, troubleshoot, and resolve hardware, software, or other network and system problems, and replace defective components when necessary.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Linux
  • Microsoft Active Directory
