Navy
Reserve Supply Corps Officers
Supply
Corps officers are the Navy's business managers. They perform
management functions in purchasing, inventory control, storage,
financial management, auditing, merchandising, transportation, computer
systems, contracting and other related areas. They ensure that the Navy
is supplied with more than two million items essential to the operation
of modern ships, aircraft and facilities.
Initial training for the Navy Reserve Supply Corps officer consists of
two successive two-week AT periods at the Navy Supply Corps School in
Athens, Ga. Subjects taught include disbursing, supply management, food
service and retail operations management, and introduction to
leadership and management. This initial training is followed by 15
months of extensive correspondence course work.
Navy Reserve Supply Corps officers may serve aboard every type of ship
in the fleet during later AT periods. Ashore, they may serve in
contracting centers, at inventory control points, shipyards, air
stations and supply centers and depots.
Basic

A bachelor's degree from an accredited college, preferably in business
or a related field, and significant related work experience. A Master
of Business Administration degree and extensive related work experience
is preferred, given the high level of competition.
