You hear correctly.
Just ET's CT's and???
Information Technologist, or IT.
And, that the CO addressee and probably dept heads can call up msgs directly on their computers???
Yup. The message send/receive function in a command is done by computer terminal connected to the TCC, and it gets shoved onto the command LAN. Dropoff/pickup of hardcopies at the TCC customer service window went bye-bye in 1994 or so. Good thing, too; some TCCs serve customers over 1,000 miles away!
The system coming online now (Defense Message System) will let them compose the message in Outlook, encrypt and digitally sign the message, and send it straight to the recipient. Writer-to-reader,
No more poor sap clerks, Radiomen in dress whites struggling to get super clean copies out of the MEMOGRAPHS no less, for the fussy Admirals?
Nope.
Sounds like ancient history at this point in the growth of the net etc!
The Navy was the LAST service to "get it." When I visited an Air Force Base in 1989 and tried to arrange dropoff & pickup of my det's traffic, the Air Force comm center people looked at me like I was from Mars.
