What are the responsibilities and job description for the Surface Warfare Officer position at US Navy Reserve?
About Pursuing a civilian career doesn't have to mean getting stuck in the corporate world. As a current or former Navy Surface Warfare Officer, there are plenty of part-time opportunities to use your leadership skills and talent in an environment that's constantly changing.
