What are the responsibilities and job description for the Naval Pilot position at US Navy Reserve?
At the US Navy Reserve, you can continue your naval career while pursuing a civilian life. As a current or former Naval Aviator, you have opportunities to lead and contribute in a dynamic environment. Many pilots leave active duty due to family obligations, career aspirations, or the desire to settle down. However, the Navy Reserve allows you to achieve these goals while continuing your naval service. Our mission is to provide strategic depth and deliver operational capabilities to the Navy and Marine Corps team and Joint forces.
Navy Reserve Sailors seamlessly support our mission, all while leading independent lives in the civilian world. We offer a range of benefits, including state-of-the-art training, educational assistance, VA benefits, and more. In return for your service and dedication, we provide you with benefits to succeed in both your military and civilian lives:
- Receive 4 days of basic pay for only 2 days worked (16 hours) each drill weekend
- Opportunities to acquire new skills and sharpen existing ones, enhancing your civilian career
- Educational assistance
- Tax-free, worldwide Navy Exchange and commissary privileges for you and your family
- VA guaranteed home loans
- Low-cost insurance options, including up to $500,000 in life insurance
- Travel opportunities
- Earn points toward retirement benefits every time you drill
- Retirement after 20 qualifying years
We also offer education opportunities through Tuition Assistance, DANTES, and post-9/11 or Montgomery GI Bill. Further education opportunities are available through the US Naval War College and Senior Enlisted Academy, as well as certifications and licenses available through the Navy Credentialing Opportunities Online (COOL).
