Surface Warfare...It's a lifestyle, not just a career

Commander (O-5) (Former Employee)
Honolulu, HI

I worked at US Navy full-time for more than 10 years

ProsService to country, mostly safe environments (won't get shot at), great benefits like free medical / dental.

Cons"Surface warfare officers eat their young"...sink or swim environment, tough to find a mentor, and very thin pyramid organizational structure meaning the top jobs (Commanding Officers of ships and shore stations) are few and far between. One bad fitness report can derail a career.

Advice to Senior ManagementEliminate zero defect mentality.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
