What was an FT?



In the Navy it's the Fire control technician rating. Unlike what the
name implies it has little to do with firefighting. It has everything
to do with the maintenance and repair of the various weapons and gun
controls on the ship. Now-a-days it's mostly computer related.

It was "computer related" then too but the computers had springs and
gears in them (pure analog)
