As a Small Computer Systems Specialist I ensured the proper installation, configuration, and operation of stand-alone and client- server information systems. Installed, operated, and maintained microcomputer and Local and Wide Area Network (LAN/WAN) systems. I configured, optimized, administered, and troubleshot microcomputer network hardware and operating system software using Marine Corps standard network operating software and protocols. These included TCP/IP network design and installation and TCP/IP network administration. My responsibilities included operating system and application configuration and integration of multiple information systems in a networked environment. I supported a myriad of computer and network operating systems to include: UNIX, Windows New Technology (NT), Netware (IPX), and TCP/IP. I also performed operating system and applications management in support of the Defense Messaging System (DMS) and the Tactical Data Network (TDN) server.
