U.S. Navy Employer Reviews

The US Navy was a place that offered growth and stability. It taught responsibility, respect, and team work. It gave room to work in various areas and work with many different people. The experience, although difficult, was an excellent way to learn new things and gain new experiences that could be applied to everyday life outside of the military. The – more...  people I had the opportunity to work with, in my command (including superiors), became people I could trust and depend on. All the places I was able to visit and make a difference, in some way, was the best part of it all. – less

Walk on the ship. LPO telsl you what needs to be fixed by today. Do your work. Go home. During inspections and underway work hours are extended. Co -workers are awesome, they want to get the job done. Hardest part of the job is standing watch underway then going back to work; sometimes working more than 24hrs. Most enjoyable part would be hitting a – more...  overseas port after a long underway at sea. – less

would have stayed in but my wife wanted to move back home, if i could i would have stayed in.

A typical day at work consisted of directing mulit-million dollar aircraft to and from there parking position on an aircraft carrier. I learned discipline and attention to detail and During flight operations I would direct aircraft to the catapult for launch, and when they returned I would direct them to their parking position. The crew was very wide – more...  ranged in age and race but all great people nevertheless. The hardest part of the job was the longs hours and working in the heat. The most enjoyable part was the adrenaline rush I would get from hearing and watching these jets launch and recover. The management was very stern and precise with orders, but very caring and fair to the crew. – less

A typical workday consisted of a revolving schedule. Every work day started at 7am, but would sometimes extend until 10pm, depending on how much work was to be done. During my time in the service, i learned things from simple housekeeping and the importance of equipment cleanliness, to the overhaul and rebuilding of major components that were vital – more...  to engineering operations. But most of all, i learned leadership and discipline. The hardest part of the job was definitely the time i spent overseas and away from family and friends, although i did understand that was part of the job as a U.S. Service Member. What i enjoyed most about the job was getting to meet new people from different parts of the country, the knowledge of engineering principals i acquired, and the feeling of satisfaction i felt when i completed a job such as an overhaul of a piece of equipment, or a casualty control drill that was ran satisfactorily. More importantly though, my most enjoyable part of the job was definitely learning self discipline and leadership. – less

You cant say enough about the US Navy. See the world and then some.

The navy has given me alot, coming from an erban city 12 years ago to now. It gave me the means to become an independant man. I have been all around the world and worked on multi million dollar equipment. My experience was great but life and situations change everyday, so after 12 years of service its time for me to move on to the next adventure.

Oustatnading opportunity the greatest branch in Military!!!

I joined the US NAVY to gain strength and learn discipline. Also, I love helping people.

It was a great experience overall but I didn't like the fact that I had to put my family second a lot of the time.

Weekly maintenance was conducted on various networking equipment including servers, switches, routers, ups, snmp monitoring software, and desktop computers.

The U.S. Navy offers a large variety of oppurtunities and a competitive, rewarding work environment. Only set backs include work hours and deployment requirements.

The military is a great life experience, and allows one the opportunity to see and do things most people will never get the chanc to experience.

Working 12 hour days with people who loved their job. Continuos learning and evolving. The hardest part of the day would be nightly loading of cryptographical material. The most enjoyable part of the job is learning how technology works and all the traveling.

It was an honor to serve. Tough to be away from the family, but everything else was a dream job!

come to work, go over work load on 20 mhs-60 aircraft, maintenance meeting, shop meeting, supervise and delegate priorities, troubleshoot, preform scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, quality assurance inspections,

Being enlisted in the US Navy was a very good learning experience as I was taught to see the person and not the color of the skin. I enjoyed the ability to see another country as well as different states. I have obtained and maintain friendships with some of my fellow sailors. The US Navy gave me the outstanding virtues I have in regards to insuring – more...  my job is done right and on time even most times under the deadline given for completion. I also gain the ability to multitask and pay close attention to details. I enjoyed every aspect of my job and the job experience I obtained both as a Supervisor and a Subordniate. – less

Everything payed for, put your head down and make rank and pay is actually very good. And early retirement is awesome.

Learned valuable skills in leadership, deadication and hard work. Traveled the county. Teamwork was used daily and doing a job because it needed to be done regardless of the recoginition was implemented into my work ethic.

I cannot really describe a typical day at work as there were so many different jobs that I did while in.
