What are the responsibilities and job description for the Part-Time Surface Officer position at US Navy Reserve?
Use Your Leadership Skills in a Dynamic Environment
About 50% of Navy Surface Warfare Officers transition to civilian careers, but that doesn't mean they have to leave the military behind. The Navy Reserve offers part-time opportunities for current or former SWOs to utilize their leadership skills and talent in a constantly changing environment.
Families, career aspirations, and a desire for stability are common reasons why SWOs leave active duty. However, the Navy Reserve allows you to balance your Naval career with your civilian life while contributing to the mission of providing strategic depth and delivering operational capabilities to the Navy and Marine Corps team and Joint forces.
