This code is listed in the directory. Inclusion alone does not confirm current service use.
A Navy officer classification, not an enlisted rating.
Overview

The officer directs aviation ordnance personnel, establishes maintenance procedures, organizes ordnance activities, and provides technical assistance and advice on aviation ordnance and armament.
Notes & Sources
- NOOCS Part A (Edition 96, Jul 2026) prints officer code 636X as “A Limited Duty Officer (Aviation · Ordnance)…”, paired with its Limited Duty Officer billet row (billet 6360 requiring the specialty); the row states who holds the code and which specialty the billet requires, not what duties every holder performs. See the cited block for the exact pairing text.
- Because the Navy carries no duty, training, or clearance prose at designator level, occupation-specific recommendations are not published here; a 636X officer’s duties depend on the assigned billet.
