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.
