Civilian Career Paths

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.

Radio, Cellular, and Tower Equipment Installers and Repairers

Operating the E-6B dual trailing wire antenna provides antenna-system operating experience as a starting point for retraining in ground-based radio equipment installation.

How to prepare: Seek hands-on training covering antenna installation, coaxial cabling, and transmission-component testing.

What the civilian work involves
  • Run appropriate power, ground, or coaxial cables.
  • Test operation of tower transmission components, using sweep testing tools or software.
  • Install all necessary transmission equipment components, including antennas or antenna mounts, surge arrestors, transmission lines, connectors, or tower-mounted amplifiers (TMAs).

Notes & Sources

  • Verified G54A duties document antenna operation, not installation, repair, or diagnostic testing.
