Job Description:
About
A big part of life on a Navy ship is making sure the right items
arrive at the right time. As a Supply Corps Officer, that means
you're making sure the right sonar parts arrive so technicians can
make repairs, or the right medicines show up on the way to a
humanitarian mission across the world, or simply that tonight's
meal is ready for Sailors on your ship. Navy missions rely on
having logistics down to a science, which is why Supply Corps
Officers are so valuable. These Sailors know how to get just about
anything to anywhere at any time, no matter the distance.

Once that training is complete, you will learn the ins and outs of

Serving part-time in the Navy Reserve, your duties will be carried

abroad.
Take a moment to learn more about the general roles and
responsibilities of Navy Reserve Sailors .
Most of what you do in the Navy Reserve is considered training. The
basic Navy Reserve commitment involves training a minimum of one
weekend a month (referred to as drilling) and two weeks a year
(referred to as Annual Training) - or the equivalent.
Supply Corps Officers in the Navy Reserve serve in an Officer role.
Before receiving the ongoing professional training that comes with
this job, initial training requirements must first be met.
For current or former Navy Officers (NAVET): Prior experience
satisfies the initial leadership training requirement - so you will
not need to go through Officer Training again.
For current or former Officers of military branches other than the
Navy (OSVET), as well as for Officer candidates without prior
military experience: You will need to meet the initial leadership
training requirement by attending the five-week Officer Development
School (ODS) in Newport, RI. This will count as your first Annual
Training.
