Skills & Training:

Day to Day Duties:Navy Counselors are the command experts on enlisted retention programs and provide primary technical assistance supporting other members of the command’s retention team. To be successful, NCs maintain awareness of revisions and innovations in retention programs by reading and interpreting Navy directives and other reference materials. Exercising their experience and training, they supervise and coordinate interviewing and counseling efforts to individuals, and give career presentations to civic groups, and naval personnel and their family members on the advantages of career opportunities in the Navy. Most NC’s work independently so motivated, self-starters excel our NC community.

You could be working as the Command Career Counselor in a variety of sea intensive operational platforms as part of ships company, in squadrons, or with Seabee Battalions. Many of these opportunities are in the Forward Deployed Naval Forces (FDNF) including Japan, Diego Garcia, and Guam. If you are up for shore duty you could find yourself as the Command Career Counselor at any one of a number of stateside or overseas shore duty billets.

You will attend an intensive 4-week training program training you in the techniques and scope of Career Information Program Management. The training will help position you for success as you establish and execute the Enlisted Retention Programs of the Navy; and counsel Sailors and their families on active duty and post-retirement incentives, opportunities and benefits. Successful Navy Counselors work hard to develop strong counseling techniques, as well as exemplary organizational and administrative habits. Our NC community relies on strong oral and written communication skills to keep our Sailors informed, and ensure the right Sailor fills the right billet.
