Personal Development

Teamwork is the foundation of the Navy, and is necessary for everything we do. Ships and subs can’t move without the coordinated actions of Sailors working in many different areas. Carrier pilots depend on air-traffic controllers and handlers, fuel and ordnance crews, and their fellow officers. Every individual, from the highest-ranking admiral to the newest recruit, plays a pivotal role on the Navy team. In short, there are no unimportant jobs in the Navy.

Sailors learn to work toward common goals and to rely on one another to accomplish their missions. They learn to coordinate. Organize. And focus their energies. As a result, people with Navy training are good planners, excellent team players, and have exceptional people skills.

Sound familiar? Those are the skills and traits employers seek when hiring. You’ll have experience giving and following orders which is essential for good leadership. You’ll develop responsibility and accountability. You’ll also learn how to solve problems and complete challenging tasks by sharing ideas and coordinating your efforts with others.

Teamwork not only builds groups of professionals, but groups of friends as well. Lifelong friendships are often formed from the intense loyalty and dedication Sailors develop while working as a team. These are people you know you can count on, because you have to count on them every day to do their jobs, just like they count on you to do yours. So whether you are looking for a lifelong career as part of the Navy team, or you just want to develop your leadership skills, the Navy will set you on course.
