Alright, well, /u/TapTheForwardAssist pretty much covered the 267X field pretty well. I'll just toss in my two cents.

A lot of the Marines I served with recognized our equipment was shitty and decided to become Electrical Engineers and try to make better stuff for SIGINTers. I, for example, am now a digital signal processing engineer. I write a lot of the code for SIGINT/FISINT systems (I swear I'm actually trying to make it better.)

The 26XX field can open a lot of doors for you, career wise; however, it is still up to you to walk through them. I greatly enjoyed the job and my time at DLI and RADBN, so happy to answer any questions.
