NAVY FAQ

CAN I REQUEST TO WORK IN A CERTAIN AREA OR FIELD?

You can request career placement in fields such as nuclear engineering, advanced electronics, computers or aviation. The Navy has jobs in more than 60 fields, and if a position is open in a field for which you are qualified, your recruiter will work with you to get you that position.


CAN I SWITCH JOBS IF I DON’T LIKE WHAT I DO?

It is possible to switch jobs, but you can’t always count on it. That’s why you are encouraged to find a job you like before training so that your training will not go to waste. Also, the Navy is more likely to let you switch jobs if you want to switch to a rating that is in high demand, such as one in nuclear power.


WHAT IF I DON’T KNOW WHAT JOB I WANT TO DO?

No problem. Your recruiter can help you figure out what you may be good at and can help you find a job that matches your existing aptitudes.

  

IF I FIND A NAVY JOB I LIKE BUT HAVE NO EXPERIENCE IN IT, WILL THE NAVY TRAIN ME?

Absolutely. You just need to have the interest and meet any entrance-level qualifications.
