US Navy reviews

Challenging work is generously rewarded. There are many opportunities for learning, education, training and advancement, more so for younger workers when the coming wave of baby boomers retires in the next 10 years. Under the National Security Personnel System (NSPS), a 'pay-for-performance' system, extremely high performance is generally rewarded very well; young performers can advance quickly up the pay scale. I consider myself to be extremely fortunate to have worked my entire career as a US Navy civilian, beginning as a GS-2 and working up to GS-15.

The navy provides nearly limitless opportunity for professional and personal growth. The limiting factor is the motivation of the individual. Proven performance is rewarded with increased responsibility in high stress environments at a very young age. This level of trust is rarely found in other careers. The chance to represent the United States in situations that threaten our national security and way of life and a profound sense of pride in your work are additional benefits. World travel courtesy of the government, experiencing foreign cultures early and often, and making lifelong friends whom you can trust with your life should the need arise are all great reasons to work for the US Navy.
