Columbus, United States US Navy Full time
A big part of life on a Navy ship is making sure the right items arrive at the right time. As a Supply Corps Officer, that means you're making sure the right sonar parts arrive so technicians can make repairs, or the right medicines show up on the way to a humanitarian mission across the world, or simply that tonight's meal is ready for Sailors on your ship. 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.
