I25A Field Calibration Activity Technician (Electrical/Electronic)

Current service use not established

This code is listed in the directory. Inclusion alone does not confirm current service use.

A Navy Enlisted Classification: a skill designation sailors hold in addition to their rating.

Overview

A Field Calibration Activity Technician calibrates GPETE and PGSE fleet test equipment at field calibration and aircraft intermediate maintenance activities. The technician works ashore and afloat and completes repairs incidental to the calibration process.

Core Skills

  • Fleet test equipment calibration ashore and afloat
  • Test equipment repair during calibration

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.

Calibration Technologists and Technicians

Calibrating fleet test equipment in intermediate maintenance activities and performing repairs incidental to calibration directly overlaps with civilian calibration work.

How to prepare: Build a resume inventory of the test equipment you calibrated and the associated repairs you performed, then use it to target electrical and electronic calibration openings.

What the civilian work involves
  • Analyze test data to identify defects or determine calibration requirements.
  • Conduct calibration tests to determine performance or reliability of mechanical, structural, or electromechanical equipment.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Microsoft Excel

Electrical and Electronic Engineering Technologists and Technicians

Fleet test equipment calibration and associated repair provide a foundation for electronics testing and maintenance in engineering technician roles.

How to prepare: Take a hands-on electronics troubleshooting course focused on diagnosing component and assembly faults to broaden beyond repairs incidental to calibration.

What the civilian work involves
  • Modify, maintain, or repair electronics equipment or systems to ensure proper functioning.
  • Set up and operate specialized or standard test equipment to diagnose, test, or analyze the performance of electronic components, assemblies, or systems.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Microsoft Excel
