The Navy and Naval Reserve rely heavily upon their officers at every level of operations and management. These men and women provide the professional, scientific and technical skills required by the wide variety of occupations found at sea and ashore. The majority of officer billets in the Naval Reserve are manned by veteran Navy officers. Veteran officers join the Naval Reserve through a process called affiliation.

Information on current openings and basic qualifications is contained in the Naval Reserve Officer Direct Appointment Booklet.

The Naval Reserve also has opportunities for medical professionals. Direct commission of medical professionals is covered under the medical programs section below and in separate titled "Health Care Opportunities and Incentives." If you would like a copy of either of these booklets, contact your Naval Reserve officer recruiter or call 1-800-USA-USNR.

This program provides for affiliation of officers and enlistment or reenlistment in the Naval Reserve of personnel who have prior active or inactive service in the Navy or Naval Reserve.

Men and women with prior active or inactive service with, or who presently serve in Reserve components of the U.S. armed services other than the Navy or Naval Reserve may enlist in the Naval Reserve through this program.

This program allows recently separated/discharged NAVETS and IRR personnel who are in closed ratings and would otherwise be ineligible for reenlistment/affiliation to access into open ratings via a change of rating. See your local Naval Reserve recruiter for more details.

This program provides for the enlistment in the Naval Reserve, at an advanced paygrade, of men and women with or without prior service who are employed in a civilian occupation that corresponds to an undermanned Navy rating. The APG Program lessens manning shortages in ratings where veteran participation has been insufficiant.

The Naval Reserve Accelerated Initial Accession (AIA) program allows men and women without prior service to enlist in the Naval Reserve to fill non-designated Firemen (FN), Seamen (SN) and Airmen (AN) positions. This enlistment option enables men and to eventually qualify for one of several Navy ratings (skill specialties) through on-the-job apprenticeship training.

The Reserve Allied Medical Program is a Naval Reserve enlisted medical technician scholarship program. It offers qualified HMs and DTs the opportunity to pursue a college degree in an area of advanced medical technology. In addition to the many other benefits of affiliating with the Naval Reserve, RAMP participants enjoy fully paid tuition and fees.

Individuals will complete training in a medical/dental technology field at a civilian college or technical school while serving and training part time in the Naval Reserve. Course of instruction may be full or part time.

For more information contact your local Naval Reserve recruiter, call 1-800-USA-USNR or contact the RAMP program manager at (301)-295-9947.
