ABOUT

In this field, your efforts are critical in delivering what the Navy needs for mission success. You’ll always be thinking ahead and will know what people want before they do—and you’ll never miss a beat. Become a pro in inventory management, financial management, and procurement.

LOGISTICS SPECIALIST

That's why the Navy relies on Logistics Specialists aboard every vessel to manage the inventory that keeps missions moving forward. From ordering needed supplies in the middle of a hurricane to inspecting incoming cargo from across the world, Logistics Specialists keep it all running.

  • Organize and operate Navy post offices, ashore and afloat
  • Receive, sort, inspect and deliver arriving mail and cargo

  • Maintain financial logs and records
  • Operate computer systems that provide logistic support information Logistics Specialist Submarine (LSS)
  • Manage inventories of repair parts/general supplies for submarines and short−based activities
  • Operate Navy post offices, ashore and afloat, including distributing mail for submarines
  • Order, store, check and issue equipment and goods
  • Receive, sort, inspect and deliver arriving mail and cargo
  • Maintain inventory database and prepare reports and correspondence
  • Maintain financial logs and records
  • Operate computer systems that provide logistic support information

  • Competitive salary

  • A retirement plan
  • Paid training
  • College credit

EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES

  • Navy College Program and Tuition Assistance
  • Post−9/11 GI Bill, up to 100% tuition

QUALIFICATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS

  • U.S. citizen or equivalent
  • High school graduate or equivalent
  • 17 years of age or older

General qualifications may vary depending upon whether you’re currently serving, whether you’ve served before or whether you’ve never served before.

WORK ENVIRONMENT

These roles perform a variety of duties worldwide, at numerous overseas and stateside shore commands, aboard surface ships, aircraft and submarines. They generally divide time between assignments ashore and afloat.

PART-TIME OPPORTUNITIES

The role above is an Active Duty opportunity in the Navy, however there are part-time roles available. Serving part−time as a Navy Reserve Sailor, your duties will be carried out during your scheduled drilling and training periods. During monthly drilling, Logistics Specialists in the Navy Reserve typically work at a location close to their homes.
