My rating was a Fire Control Technician (Ballistic).  My responsibility as a young sailor was to operate & program the Missile Fire Control computers for the Poseiden (C3) SLBMs and then later the Trident I (C4) SLBMs.  Later in my career, my primary watch station was COW (Chief Of the Watch).  All watch standers forward of the reactor compartment reported to me.
