Civilian Career Paths

Career associations are editorial assessments of the cited evidence, not an official crosswalk unless the evidence explicitly says so. O*NET supplies civilian occupation information, not proof of a military match. Related experience does not confer civilian qualifications. Tasks and tools below describe civilian work, not military training.

Aircraft Cargo Handling Supervisors

KC-130 aircraft preparation and configuration experience transfers to preparing aircraft for cargo operations, a civilian field explicitly linked to this MOS by NAVMC.

How to prepare: Practice aircraft center-of-gravity calculations and cargo-layout planning using a prospective cargo operator's aircraft-specific procedures.

What the civilian work involves
  • Determine the quantity and orientation of cargo, and compute an aircraft's center of gravity.
  • Direct ground crews in the loading, unloading, securing, or staging of aircraft cargo or baggage.
  • Distribute cargo to maximize use of space.
Civilian tools and software (examples)
  • Cargo tracking system software
  • Microsoft Excel
