Core Skills

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

Performing, supervising, and training others in LCAC navigator operations provides directly relevant navigation experience for civilian deck-officer work.

How to prepare: Before choosing further training, assess existing credentials against the MMC and deck-officer endorsement appropriate to your intended vessel, route, and role, and submit an official sea-service transcript or assignment history with vessel particulars, underway time, and duties for USCG evaluation of military credit; a DD-214 is not acceptable sea-service evidence. Address the resulting gaps in qualifying sea time, approved training, examinations, medical fitness, and drug testing, along with applicable TWIC, age, and citizenship requirements.

What the civilian work involves
  • Consult maps, charts, weather reports, or navigation equipment to determine and direct ship movements.
  • Prevent ships under navigational control from engaging in unsafe operations.

Notes & Sources

  • Open-ocean service requires USCG-verified STCW training, and an STCW endorsement generally requires the appropriate national endorsement. Maritime pilot work may also require a state license.
