CAREER
GUIDANCE A
key part of managing your officer career will be the counseling you receive.
However, the quality of the counseling you receive is only as good as its
source. No matter what the advice
or the source, the career decisions you
make affect your career.
In general, the most reliable sources for career information are your
commanding officer, executive officer and your detailer. COs
and XOs are knowledgeable and experienced counselors, able to address general
requirements for your career path. An
experienced LDO or CWO can help with the detailed requirements of your technical
specialty. There are many career considerations which do not change,
such as the importance of sustained
superior performance. For
guidance on specific billet choices in a changing career path, you will need to
contact your detailer. Detailers
know your qualifications, career needs, personal preferences and which billets
are available. Warfare qualifications enhance professionalism and formally recognized initiative, technical competence and readiness for increased responsibility. Initial warfare qualifications are a major milestone and should be achieved as early as possible after appointment to officer status, if eligible. |
