Trouble picking a job for Navy?

-I'm a fairly smart person. I usually do well on tests, so i'm guessing I would get a pretty high score on the ASVAB. But I'm having a little trouble selecting a job for the Navy. I prefer a desk job over a labor job. I do better mentally than physically. (I'm sort of clumsy, and not very athletic) And I know I'll probably be on a ship at some point, and I don't mind it. But I wouldn't like to spend my navy career on a ship for most of the time. What are some navy jobs that require the least amount of sea duty?I'd say that if you can get it that CT is a good choice they have some good sea billets and a lot of overseas billets. Also, OS could be a good choice, or maybe AC. My friend was a LN and now she is a lawyer. Most jobs have a set sea and shore rotation. Your classifier should be able to tell you the sea shore rotation of the jobs that you are looking at. I knew plenty of people that did not go to sea in a 4 year hitch, and others that never went to shore duty. You can always stay on sea duty if that is what you want.One of the main reasons people join the Navy is so they can be on a ship and see the world. Lots of Sailors see 5 or 6 countries per deployment. Almost everyone will get deployed on a ship.



You sound like an Air Force kind of guy. In the AF you will receive better technical training, earn college credits just for doing your job, higher quality of life (not sitting in a cramped ship, but on a nice base), and more women :)



Good luck.
the more physically demanding jobs like seabee, EOD, and the special warfare units are usually the only ones that dont do much sea duty or any at all



all of the least labor intensive jobs like logistics specialist and IT are all going to be high areas for sea duty
see if u wanna join navy u will mainly be doing sea duty that there role



go on website and they would narrow it done better then any1 on here would they got hundreds of jobs and u can narrow them down then talk to your recruiting Sergeant bout it he give best advise
"Sailors belong on ships, and ships belong at sea - land is just a navigation hazard."
