What do you like about working at United States Navy?

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Don't do it unless you're absolutely positive you can handle being away from your friends and family for 6-12 months at a time."

What don't you like about working at United States Navy?

"Constant change of whom you work for. In my time in I had around 10 different direct supervisors in the 5 years I was stationed on the USS Eisenhower. My most recent one, for 2.5 yrs, he and I don't get along."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Less Chiefs and more Indians. While I'm sure management needs to know the status of things asking every 5 minutes, or watching over one's shoulder is not how to get them."
