What is Naval Aviation?

Naval Aviat ion is renowned for the demands i t places upon i ts f lyers. The ski l ls and concentrat ion required to land a high-performance jet on board an aircraft carr ier deck pitching in the black of night, or to track a submarine whi le f ly ing at only a few feet above stormy seas, are not only l inked to a sol id academic background or to top physical condit ioning. There is more to i t than that; i t requires a combination of talents and dedicat ion that many people possess, but few are chal lenged to use to ful l measure.

What is Submarine Warfare?

Midshipmen who select Submarine Warfare can look forward to a chal lenging career as a member of an el i te, technical ly advanced, mult i-mission community. Newly commissioned Ensigns wi l l f ind themselves serving on board the most capable submarines in the world today. Upon commissioning every Ensign selected for Submarine Warfare wi l l attend one year of advanced nuclear power training, start ing with six months of classroom training at Nuclear Power School (NPS) in Charleston, S.C.

What is Special Warfare?

The newly commissioned off icer from the NROTC program may elect to pursue a career in Naval Special Warfare, which is the smallest of the unrestr icted l ine communit ies. The Special Warfare Off icer concentrates on the development of ski l ls in the areas of unconventional warfare, counterinsurgency, coastal and r iver interdict ion, and tact ical intel l igence col lect ion. To enter this career area, the off icer must meet the various physical prerequisi tes, volunteer for hazardous duty, and request to be selected to receive Basic Underwater Demoli t ion / SEAL (BUDS) Training.

What is Surface Warfare?

Surface Warfare is the "tradit ional" community within the Navy that employs surface ships for the missions of forward naval presence, sea control, and project ion of power ashore. Surface Warfare Off icers (or SWOs, pronounced "swohs") are the men and women who, as junior off icers just out of col lege, lead the sai lors within the many special ized divisions of a ship's crew. Surface Warfare Off icers are Navy off icers whose training and primary dut ies focus on the operat ion of Navy ships at sea and the management of various shipboard systems. Their ul t imate goal is to command a Navy surface ship.

~ John F. Kennedy ~ “ I can imagine no more rewarding career... and any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life

worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction: “ I served in the United States Navy.” “
