The Navy Damage Control Training and Inventory Expert SkillBridge Program is a six-month, full-time training opportunity that provides structured, supervised professional development for transitioning Navy Service Members. The program applies Navy damage control and shipboard inventory experience to civilian maritime and defense logistics environments.
