SUPPLY AND LOGISTICS JOBS IN THE NAVY
LOGISTICS SPECIALIST
How do you launch F/A-18 Hornets off an aircraft carrier without a stocked supply of new tires on board? You don’t. From ordering needed supplies in the middle of a hurricane to inspecting incoming cargo from across the world, Logistics Specialists keep it all running.
RETAIL SERVICES SPECIALIST
You might think being stationed on a Naval ship in the middle of the ocean would mean going without simple joys like favorite snacks and coffee runs, but you’d be wrong. You’ll be in charge of maintaining inventories and operations for all things retail on the ship—stores, coffee shops, laundry services, etc.
CULINARY SPECIALIST
In the Navy, the galley, or dining area, is the heart of every ship. This is where the crew gathers to eat, socialize and relax. As a Culinary Specialist, you run the show—planning and managing all inventories, food orders, and financial records.

America’s Navy is approximately 450,000 Sailors, 300 ships and submarines, and 3,700 aircraft strong. Water and salt flow through our veins in the same proportion as the sea. That mighty force is the lifeblood of the greatest Navy ever to sail unstoppably upon it, slip stealthily beneath it or fly unchallenged above it. And we defend with honor, courage, and commitment every hour of every day. We are America’s Navy. We are forged by the sea.
