Core Skills

  • Amphibious craft operations across surf and beaches
  • International and Inland navigation rule application
  • Maritime radio and visual communications
  • Crew supervision throughout landing craft operations

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.

Captains, Mates, and Pilots of Water Vessels

LCAC operation, navigation-rule application, maritime communications, and crew supervision transfer directly to vessel navigation and operational control.

How to prepare: Ask the USCG National Maritime Center to assess existing credentials and documented military sea service for an MMC deck-officer endorsement matched to the intended vessel, route, and role before choosing additional training. Plan for the applicable sea-time requirement, typically several years, approved training, medical and professional examinations, drug testing, age and citizenship eligibility, and any required Transportation Worker Identification Credential.

What the civilian work involves
  • Prevent ships under navigational control from engaging in unsafe operations.
  • Consult maps, charts, weather reports, or navigation equipment to determine and direct ship movements.
  • Steer and operate vessels, using radios, depth finders, radars, lights, buoys, or lighthouses.

Notes & Sources

  • Military sea-service evaluation requires an official sea-service transcript or assignment history plus vessel tonnage, routes, propulsion power, time underway, and assigned duties; a DD-214 is not acceptable sea-service evidence. USCG determines the credit and endorsement scope.
  • Open-ocean service requires USCG-verified STCW training; an STCW endorsement generally requires the appropriate national endorsement.
  • Maritime pilot work may also require a state license.
