You will examine and study insects to help prevent illness and disease. There are nearly 1 million different kinds of insects around the world. Working as a Entomology Scientist with the US Navy is a job specialist that deals with identification and study of many of these different species of insects as part of your job. You would work to track and provide identification to different types of insects that could pose a hazard to personnel or carry diseases, and you will work to prevent this. Military personnel in the United States military work in some of the most hazardous situations in the world, in some of the most compromised disease laden situations in the world. Many times the threat from insects in these conditions can be as great as threats from bad water or other pollution.
