Transportation Logistic Navy Specialist

May 9, 2008 By admin

The Navy has needs for specialists in Logistics and transportation and specialists that work in this field. The Navy Logistic and Transportation specialist is involved in transporting equipment, goods, supplies and personnel and arranging for their safe movement. This is a wide-open field with a rich opportunity for those persons who enjoy a challenge. Serving in the logistic field means you could be called upon to help with the transportation of men or materials anywhere that the Navy is stationed around the world.

Sailors in this field work to coordinate the movement of equipment and troops with efficiency to points around the globe. Today’s modern Navy is a military force that relies on its mobility, consisting of equipment, personnel, submarines, surface vessels and aircraft. There are more than 370 thousand sailors and Airmen stationed around the world in the United States Navy, and keeping them supplied and making sure that goods and services are reaching them in support of the Naval mission is a big job. The ability of the Navy to keep the fleet ready to travel and able to meet its operational readiness goals is a job that requires strong organizational skills and strategy planning. The personnel in the Logistic and Transportation field are soldiers that have been trained how to meet deadlines, ship men and supplies, and to ensure that all logistics and shipping meet the needs that the Navy places on them.

Getting personnel, supplies and equipment to the right destination at the correct time and place is a little bit like a chaotic ballet, it takes precision timing, training and logistical skills to make sure everything happens the way that it should. You will function as part of a well-oiled team to make sure that supplies and men arrive on time and on schedule. Your duties as a Navy Logistic specialist can involve other skills, such at helping pilot courses and make course correction for safe passage and navigation in hazardous areas, the maintenance and use of navigation equipment, and being able to calculate the velocity and low and high tides of the ocean.

Training begins with Navy Basic Training, and then you will proceed to Class A School, where you will learn the basics of Navy shipping, transportation and logistics. Many of the skills that you attain as a logistics and transportation specialist are directly transferable to a variety of civilian jobs outside of the Navy.
