According to the message, the name change is meant to account for increased skills and responsibilities of signals intelligence, from monitoring radio traffic and breaking codes to more modern uses and methods. According to Naval Personnel Command in Millington, Tenn., information warfare officers are still a restricted line community, not an unrestricted line like aviators and submariners. Officers in the category are not required to take any administrative action, according to the message. _________________________________________ Attend ToorCon Sept 16-18th, 2005 Convention Center San Diego, California www.toorcon.org
