ITSR William Deluna, an Antioch native and 2003 Antioch High School graduate, graduated from U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command in Great Lakes, Ill. on Nov. 12, 2010 and from Information Systems Technician Class “A” Technical School in Pensacola, Fla. on Feb. 18, 2011. Deluna was trained in Microsoft, Cisco and Oracle software and hardware fundamentals plus ADP, security, system theory and operation.

The Information Systems Technician of the 21st century operates and maintains the Navy’s global satellite telecommunications systems, mainframe computers, local and wide area networks, and microcomputer systems used in the fleet. Administrative support is also provided with the operation of automated equipment that keeps records of personnel training, disbursement, health, assignments and promotions within the Navy. They ensure the all-important communications link between units at sea and stations ashore.

“So far, the Navy has allowed me to meet some great people,” said Deluna. “It has given me plenty of outstanding training in computers, and there is a lot more training available.”

Deluna’s permanent command will be in Hawaii.
