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.
