OM Submariner is an Opperator Maintainer and basically you use the kit and repair/service it - usally in the sonar room - you become the ears and eyes of the ship but are also a electrical engineer of sorts...

my bezzy oppo is an OM and is now a Petty Officer, he said its a fantastic job.

Isn't the whole rating career thingy changing soonish anyhoo? Was talking to a tiff recently who said that you can't join as a tiff (or a mechanic) any longer, they are now all ETs apparently...
 
who knows man - i did notice they change more often than the tides... and notice trades drop off the website and others appear - an oppo is the recruiting Chief at Derby RN Careers office and said they only advertise needed branches and trades. (which makes sense).

also heard with the new carriers - a trade will be ressurected from the dead to cope with conventional carrier landings.... the arrestor wire folk.
