Sub ELT's do it all but on carriers they are more "unionized" in that some ELT's just do chemistry and some just do RADCON. (from what I've heard, anyway) As an ELT (on a Sub at least) you will qualify on all of the Mechanical watch stations, but will probably get pigeon holed into a certain one because that watch station has the steam generator analysis cabinet on it. I refused to let that happen to me because I like being a mechanic too much. As far as it being worth it, that's all a matter of perspective. It does give you an additional skill set that will make you a little more marketable to a civilian employer when the time comes. Even though I was "volun-told" to go to ELT school and I didn't really care for the RADCON part of the job (which is funny because that's what I'm currently doing in the civilian workforce), I would say it was probably a good thing.
