Working at United States Navy in Virginia Beach, VA: 35 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Virginia Beach, VA Area

"Enlisting in the U.S. Navy will change your life. No other occupation can offer the thrills you will experience. Make no mistake, however, you will also work harder than you ever have as a civilian. Long hours, long stretches away from home, and less money than you would make in the civilian sector. Knowing what you are doing is part of the greater good, though, is priceless."

"I've been an Officer in the United States Navy for the past seven years. There have been plenty of up's and down's with many challenges along the way. I am transitioning out of the military not because of lack of respect for the job but I have reached the point in my career that I know it is time to move on. I would have to stay in for a minimum of five more years and all of those are out at sea and deployable, which is not what I want. I am looking to start a family and being away from my fiancee for a long period of time is something I am not looking for at this point."

"Very high paced industry with quick thinking and teamwork being focal points in order to complete the mission. Long hours, but rewarding when understanding what it is you're doing it for. Can grow at your own pace depending on what you do to set yourself apart from the rest while still helping others excel."

"I've been an active duty member of the United States Navy since 2013. The Navy has afforded me the opportunity to see the world and learn a valuable skill set. I cherish my time serving and will look back on it fondly. I intend to separate to move closer to my family and spend more time with my wife."

"I have worked for the Navy for 4 years, it has allowed me to grow professionally and personally. I recommend anyone wanting to pursue a career in a certain field, to volunteer the four years and obtain professional training."

"As a veteran, the Navy is a great place to learn and grow. Highly recommend"
