Newport News, United States US Navy (Wavemaker) (USD) Full time
A big part of life on a Navy ship is making sure the right items arrive at the right time.

Navy missions rely on having logistics down to a science, which is why Supply Corps Officers are so valuable. These Sailors know how to get just about anything to anywhere at any time, no matter the distance.
