History

Navy Rating originated as the Machine Accountant (MA) rating in large number of navy rating changes implemented in 1948. The rating name and designation was changed to Data Processing Technician (DP) in 1967. The Navy disestablished the DP rating on 1 October 1997, combining DPs who had not previously changed ratings into the Radioman(RM) rating. In 1999 the (RM) rating was re-designated Information Systems Technician (IT). The Radioman Rating was retained for use by the IT Rating Members. In 2005 the Cryptologic Technician Communications (CTO) rating merged into the IT rating.
