About Navy Reserve

Pursuing a civilian career doesn't have to mean getting stuck in the corporate world. As a current or former Navy Submarine Warfare Officer, there are plenty of part-time opportunities to use your leadership skills and talent in an environment that's constantly changing.

Fulfilling Your Potential

Family obligations, career aspirations, and the desire to settle down and settle in can lead many Officers to leave active duty. However, in the Navy Reserve, you can achieve all of these things and still continue your Naval career.

The Mission

The mission of the Navy Reserve is to provide strategic depth and deliver operational capabilities to the Navy and Marine Corps team and Joint forces, in times of peace or war. Navy Reserve Sailors seamlessly support and actively aid this mission, all while continuing to lead their own independent lives in the civilian world.
