My grandfather was a navigator as a tech sergeant.
ETA: My grandfather's service record is crazy. He started as Army. He was assigned to the platoon that protected the "Monuments Men" in WW2. I have seen pictures of my grandfather in text books. He switched to Air Force towards the tail end of WW2 and for Korea and Vietnam because promotion was easier, and then, promotions were frozen. He was offered a position on Air Force one right before he retired, but that would have taken him away 300 days a year. So, he declined.
