PENSACOLA, Fla. - Seaman Robert Campos, a native of Sachse, Texas, is serving at the Information Warfare Training Command (IWTC) at Corry Station in Pensacola, Florida.
As a student at IWTC, Campos is serving among the future generation of information warfighters.
Students at IWTC are taught the requirements and skills needed to be successful in their new careers.
Campos joined the Navy one year ago. Today, Campos serves as a cryptologic maintenance technician.
“I have always been inspired to join the Navy because I wanted to improve my life and have opportunities,” said Campos. “I had to overcome the fear of leaving my family, but my family helped me realize they were behind me no matter what.”
According to Campos, the values required to succeed in the Navy are similar to those found in Sachse.
“Some of the lessons I have brought into my career are helping others, better yourself today more than you were yesterday and speak up for what is right ,” said Campos.

IWTC, one of Center for Information Warfare Training (CIWT)’s four training commands, provides schooling for the Navy and joint services in cryptologic, information systems and cyber functions, enabling optimal performance of information warfare across the full spectrum of military operations.
Headquartered in Pensacola, Florida, CIWT delivers trained information warfare professionals to the Navy and joint services, enabling optimal performance of information warfare across the full spectrum of military operations.
CIWT trains enlisted personnel and officers in all functions of information warfare covering fields ranging from military intelligence, cyberwarfare and information systems to electronic warfare and cryptologic operations throughout the scope of their Navy careers. CIWT trains more than 26,000 students annually, with an average of 3,700 students attending classes daily. CIWT constantly strives to modernize training taught using emerging technology and the Persistent Cyber Training Environment to train the next generation of information warfare professionals.
Serving in the Navy means Campos is part of a team that is taking on new importance in America’s focus on rebuilding military readiness, strengthening alliances and reforming business practices in support of the National Defense Strategy.
“The Navy is a great contributor to national security as we protect our country from conflict and provide security at sea,” said Campos.
Campos and the Sailors they serve with have many opportunities to achieve accomplishments during their military service.
“Although my Navy career has just begun, my proudest accomplishment this far would be receiving the title as an honor graduate during graduation of my first ‘A’ school,” said Campos.
As Campos and other Sailors continue to train and perform the mission they are tasked with, they take pride in serving their country in the United States Navy.
“Serving in the Navy means protecting my country, being thankful for where I am, helping my shipmates and being a part of one big Navy family,” added Campos.

Through its “Street to Fleet” focus, Naval Education and Training Command recruits civilians and transforms them into skilled warfighters ready to meet the current and future needs of the U.S. Navy.
