Good evening all,
I am a twenty four year old student and am considering applying for a position as a logistics officer (submariner) for when I graduate university at twenty six. The branch attracts me for its variety of roles onboard as well as the divisional officer responsibilities. I am particularly interested in the pastoral and personnel development responsibilities of a divisional officer.
I have found the literature and AFCO very clear on what the Navy as an organisation wants to see in its officers, but I was hoping to get a feel for what serving submariners, both officers and ratings, look for in a logistics officer. I'm sure it goes without saying that professional competancy is a must, but I want to get an idea if my character is suitable. As the role no doubt takes one both to the surface fleet and shore establishments all input is appreciated.
