My Journey Beings

Navy is on the sea, in the air, beneath the sea and on the land around the world every day.  Navy has it all -- cutting-edge technology, advance systems and millions of dollars of aviation, submarine and surface ship systems.  Large and complex, it's big business requiring thousands of highly skilled technicians and managers, with you leading the way. 

You can take the challenge as a Navy officer and lead the way in achieving operations and management requirements.  The Navy relies heavily on its officers to provide the leadership and the technical and scientific expertise required in a wide variety of specialties at sea, in the air and on shore. 

As a Navy officer, you'll be a valued, highly respected member of the Navy team. 

In the air, Navy aviators are in the cockpit of multi-mission jet aircraft flying twice the speed of sound, land-based multi-engine aircraft and maritime helicopters.  Navy aviation is teamwork: pilots fly the aircraft and naval flight officers control the aircraft's sophisticated weapons and guidance systems.  The incredible thrill of launching from -- and landing on -- the deck of an aircraft carriers at seas is an experience unique to those officers who qualify for this prestigious team. 

If you are interested in joining the Navy either as an enlisted individual or as an officer, the best thing you can do is contact your local recruiter.  You can find your nearest recruiter by going to the Navy web site.   Just enter your zip code and the system will tell you the nearest recruiters' office.

The road to becoming an Officer can be somewhat lengthy.  It's not as easy as going to the recruiters office and saying "i want to join the Navy!".  To summarize it, it's best to think of it as a series of steps.
