The senior radar operator performs the duties of the section chief when he is absent and also performs these additional duties: Operates and supervises the operation of the radar set. Assists in the emplacement and concealment of the radar position. Assists the section chief in all of his duties. Provides technical guidance to radar operators. Troubleshoots, adjusts, aligns, and repairs using built-in-test routines, measurement, and diagnostic equipment authorized by the maintenance allocation chart. Uses fault-isolation-test, replaces cards, modules, components, and selected parts. This was one of my most rewarding duty stations. The training environment and OPTEMPO was paramount to my knowledge base as a radar operator. Big shout out to Warrant Officer Ted Dimone, he taught me a lot during our training and garrison time about target acquisition and mentored me to become a better leader.
