Do we have a "stupid questions about the Coast Guard" thread?
There was a discussion about NAO wings on another thread, and I found this nugget on Wiki:
My question is, what are Sensor System Operators and Tactical Systems Operators? I assume they're SOs on the fixed-wings, but isn't that a job done by regular ol' Aircrewman? Or isn't it, in the Coasties?

"The Coast Guard authorized the Aviation Mission Specialist designation on August 26, 2003... Aerial Ice Observers (from the International Ice Patrol) as well as Sensor System Operators, Tactical Systems Operators, Aviation Gunners and Aviation Medical Technicians are eligible for designation. Coast Guard Aviation Mission Specialist personnel wear the same uniform insignia as Naval Aviation Observers."
