What are the responsibilities and job description for the Part-Time Surface Officer position at US Navy Reserve?
Continuing your naval career doesn't have to mean sacrificing your personal aspirations. As a current or former Navy Surface Warfare Officer, you can leverage your leadership skills in a dynamic environment while maintaining your independence. Family commitments, career goals, and the desire for stability are common reasons SWOs leave active duty. However, the Navy Reserve offers an opportunity to balance these aspects of life while continuing to serve.
