Navy Reserve Supply Corps Officers
Supply Corps officers are the Navy's business managers. They perform management
functions in purchasing, inventory control, storage, financial management,
auditing, merchandising, transportation, computer systems, contracting
and other related areas. They ensure that the Navy is supplied with more
than two million items essential to the operation of modern ships, aircraft
and facilities.
Initial training for the Navy Reserve Supply Corps officer consists of
two successive two-week AT periods at the Navy Supply Corps School in
Athens, Ga. Subjects taught include disbursing, supply management, food
service and retail operations management, and introduction to leadership
and management. This initial training is followed by 15 months of extensive
correspondence course work.
Navy Reserve Supply Corps officers may serve aboard every type of ship
in the fleet during later AT periods. Ashore, they may serve in contracting
centers, at inventory control points, shipyards, air stations and supply
centers and depots.
