Well, COMM and IT are one and the same in the Navy so yes I did stay in the field after I retired. I currently work for a government contractor providing IT support for the Arizona Air National Guard's Predator UAV program.

I could be wrong but I think the Corps may have broken COMM & IT up into separate MOS's. My job previous to my current one I worked for MCI-West at the MCEN/NMCI Help Desk Camp Pendleton, and all of my Marine counterparts were "Data" Marines.

That sounds about right.

Aren't "wire" guys part of Comm as well? My wife's sister's husband is a Marine and his MOS is running communications wire. At least that's how he describes it to me, LOL.

Wire (0612) is part of comm (now 06xx). I was a 0651. Wire doesn't do shit unless someone makes them... only met a handful that care and want to learn, the rest just put their RSAM/DEOS up and sit around waiting on Data....

Oh yeah upon retirement returned to home town area of Overland Park, KS and went to work for Sprint. Unfortunately the Tech Bubble Burst after 5 yrs of doing that and generally speaking they don't really want you in the Technical Community after you're 40 plus so I had to find me a new line of work.
