This route requires the new college graduate to attend Officer Candidate School (OCS), a 12-week program.</p> <p>OCS is designed to condition an officer recruit to assume the role and responsibilities of a Naval Officer in the Fleet.</p> <h4>ROTC</h4> <p>Option two is by joining while in college through the Naval Reserve Officer Training Corps (NROTC) Scholarship program.</p> <p>By joining this program, you can continue being a college student while partaking in weekly drills, obtain leadership training, and it pays for school!</p> <h4>Naval Academy</h4> <p>Option three is being a student at the Naval Academy.</p> <p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Related Article</span> – <a href="https://www.operationmilitarykids.org/how-to-get-into-the-us-naval-academy/">How To Get Into The US Naval Academy: 5 Challenging Steps</a></strong></p> <p>Naval Academy students are midshipmen that train to become commissioned officers on active duty in the Navy while in school.</p> <p>They attend the academy, graduate with their bachelor’s degree, and begin their Naval career as an officer in one fell swoop.</p> <h4>Direct Commission</h4> <p>Option four is through direct commission.</p> <p>Career professionals such as doctors, dentists, lawyers, engineers, or chaplains receive commissioning minus the typical prerequisites of the previous three options.</p> <h3>Warrant Officers and Non-Commissioned Officers</h3> <p>Navy Chief Warrant Officers (CWOs) are officers that have advanced beyond the enlisted ranks but still rank below a commissioned officer.</p> <p>They are technical specialists that perform beyond the rank of a Master Chief Petty Officer (E-9) in their occupational field.</p> <p>Non-Commissioned Officers (NCOs) are higher-ranking enlisted members who demonstrate leadership abilities and typically start at the rank of E-4.</p> <p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Related Article:</span> <a href="https://www.operationmilitarykids.org/navy-ranks-and-pay-for-2019/">Navy Enlisted And Officer Ranks And Pay </a></strong></p> <h2>Conclusion</h2> <p>The Navy is an essential branch of the U.S. military that protects the country on and off shore.</p> <p>There are many perks of being either Enlisted or an Officer, both of which you should consider before you join the Navy.</p> <p>Some advantages of joining the Navy include but are not limited to free education, high level of financial support, travel, affordable health care, and the everlasting bond created with your fellow sailors.</p> <p>Whether you decide to join as an Active Duty member or Reservist, the experiences and knowledge that you gain can provide you with a lifetime of pride and sense of accomplishment.</p> <p>Most importantly, you show selflessness to your country and to the rest of the world—and that is something priceless.</p> <p><strong>Resources</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.navy.com/local">Find A Navy Recruiter</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.navy.mil/">Navy Official Website</a></p> <div class="abh_box abh_box_down abh_box_business"><ul class="abh_tabs"> <li class="abh_about abh_active"><a href="#abh_about">Author</a></li> <li class="abh_posts"><a href="#abh_posts">Recent Posts</a></li></ul><div class="abh_tab_content"><section class="vcard author abh_about_tab abh_tab" itemscope itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" style="display:block"><div class="abh_image" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/ImageObject"><a href = "https://www.operationmilitarykids.org/author/jacqueline/" class="url" title = "Jacqueline P." > <img decoding="async" src="https://www.operationmilitarykids.org/wp-content/uploads/gravatar/jacqueline-bio.jpg" class="photo no-lazyload" width="250" alt="Jacqueline P." /></a > </div><div class="abh_social"> </div><div class="abh_text"><div class="abh_name fn name" itemprop="name" ><a href="https://www.operationmilitarykids.org/author/jacqueline/" class="url">Jacqueline P.</a></div><div class="abh_job" ></div><div class="description note abh_description" itemprop="description" >Jacqueline is retired from the United States Navy.
