What are the responsibilities and job description for the Part-Time Submarine Warfare Officer position at US Navy Reserve?
Choosing a civilian career doesn't have to mean losing your sense of purpose. As a current or former Navy Submarine Warfare Officer, there are numerous opportunities to utilize your leadership skills and expertise in an environment that's constantly evolving. Family obligations, career aspirations, and the desire to settle down and establish roots often lead Officers to leave active duty.
