NAVAL RESERVE CONSTRUCTION BASIC-VETERAN (CB-VET)


The CB-VET program allows the enlistment of qualified veterans from all branches of service interested in both a civilian and military career in the construction trades. CB-VET enlistees train with Naval Reserve Seabees one weekend a month at a Seabee unit close to home and gain valuable experience during a two-week annual training (AT) period.


QUALIFICATIONS

Prior Service: Applications for the CB-VET program at pay grade E-3 must have eight years or less, and members at pay grade E-4 must have less than 10 years prior service in any branch of the military, completed 12 weeks of initial active duty training, and have received either an Honorable Discharge or Honorable Characterization of Service on release from active duty.

Age: Applicants must be a computed age of 36 or less, with minimum age of 21.

Mental: A current ASVAB test is required for all applicants not currently under contract and must attain the required ASVAB test score for the rate for which they are applying.

Physical: Applicants must pass an entrance physical examination.


REQUIREMENTS

CB-VET enlistees are assigned a temporary construction rating on entering the program. They must complete their prospective rating "A" school equivalency qualifications within 24 months of enlistment. A one-time six month extension may be authorized. Additionally, they must meet all qualifications and satisfactorily pass the rating exam within 36 months of enlistment to be permanently designated as a third class petty officer. Formal and self-directed training is available to ensure skill book completion through a monitored training program. Applicants will be assigned to a local Naval Construction Force Unit in a pay billet.


ADVANCEMENT OPPORTUNITIES

In addition to the outstanding promotion potential within the Seabee ratings, officer commission opportunities exist for enlisted Seabees. Numerous enlisted Seabees have been commissioned as Civil Engineer Corps (CEC) officers after receiving a bachelor's degree in various recognized engineering fields. These include civil, mechanical, electrical, mining, petroleum or architectural degrees. Experience in related professional area is preferred, although new graduates may apply.
