SUMMARY

SUMMARY The Navy offers many programs to help you develop a rewarding, successful career in the Navy. The “key” to these opportunities is knowing the administrative details that can affect your career. Several factors affect your Navy career—your NECs, your varied assignments, and enlisted warfare specialist designations. Other factors such as evaluations are discussed in Basic Military Requirements, NAVEDTRA 14277. For many Sailors, eligibility for the Fleet Reserve or retirement is an important factor in deciding to make the Navy a career. As a career Sailor, your eventual retirement should be a consideration in every decision made during your naval service. Planning for post-retirement finances and job opportunities should begin as early as possible in your career.
