Message: [QUOTE="uncle_vanya, post: 7909914, member: 33078"] As an old Comcen Opertor, later redesignated Data Telegraphist, I went on a 6 week Cypher Opertor course way back in 1971 or '72 after completing my B1 course as a data Telegraphist at the old 8 Sigs, Catterick. When I joined up in 1963, there was a trade group of Cypher Operator, and soldiers were normally promoted to full corporal on completion of their coruse. The problem was that cypher ops I knew were a bit long in the tooth, and promotion to Sergeant and above was often a long time coming.. Does the Corps still run Crypto courses at this time, especially off-line crypto systems as a back up to on-line encypherment that might fail due to technical problems.:) [/QUOTE]
