Engineering Duty
Eligibility Guidelines for Engineering Duty (146X)
a. Undergraduate degrees should be in engineering or the physical
sciences with evidence of academic excellence (normally a B-minus
or better average with a class standing in the top third). Attainment
of an MS or higher degree from an accredited college or university,
or enrollment and satisfactory performance in a program at an accredited
college or university, which leads to an MS, or higher degree, supersedes
baccalaureate requirements. All courses involved in such graduate-level
education must be in an engineering or physical science field that
is directly related to the responsibilities of the Naval Sea Systems
Command or Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command. Specific curricula
which qualify are those listed for the 14XX designator in the current
OPNAVNOTE 1520 which promulgates information on the Navy's postgraduate
education program.
b. You should be surface or submarine-warfare qualified.
Eligibility Guidelines for Aeronautical Engineering Duty (Aeronautical
Engineering, 151X)
a. You should possess a Master of Science degree in engineering
or the physical sciences or possess a Bachelor of Science degree
in engineering or the physical sciences in combination with a Master's-level
degree in management or applied science. Preferred fields of study
are aeronautical, electrical, mechanical engineering, or physics.
If you are currently selected for or enrolled in a post-graduate
program, and will satisfy one of these requirements upon successful
completion of the program, you are considered eligible to apply.
b. You must be aviation-warfare qualified.
c. You should have at least 4 years of sea duty in fleet units with
a sound and extensive background of operational experience.
d. You must have attained the rank of lieutenant but must not have
served more than 3 years as a commander.
e. A waiver of the requirements listed will be considered for Reserve
officers in the grade of lieutenant commander or below on inactive
status who have a Bachelor of Science degree in engineering, computer
science, or the physical sciences; are currently enrolled in a Master's
degree program in management or applied science (or have demonstrated
the capability of successfully completing such a program); have
a minimum of 2 years experience in the aerospace industry or related
government agencies; and are recommended for approval by the designator
advisor (Commander, Naval Air Systems Command).
Eligibility Guidelines for Aeronautical Engineering Duty (Aviation
Maintenance, 152X)
Preferred fields of study for Aeronautical Engineering Duty are
business, engineering, and physical sciences. You must:
a. Possess a sound and extensive background in aviation maintenance
in the operational force. Officers in a flying status are required
to terminate their flying status before appointment.
b. Be in the grade of commander or below.
