The training is primarily developed for the U.S. Submarine Force and contains a multitude of acronyms that the candidate will need to pronounce accurately as required by the end customer.

Much of this work is classified up to SECRET and the employee will have to adhere to the guidance for acquiring and maintaining the SECRET clearance which includes, but is not limited to initial and annual training, participating in inspections, and completing forms and background checks as required by the U.S. Government.
