About the Navy

If you have military experience in the Navy or in any other branch of the Armed Services, it’s important to be aware of the ways that you can stay connected to a life of service. By reenlisting in the Active Duty Navy or joining the Navy Reserve, you’ll be able to build upon your past while taking advantage of exciting opportunities in the future. From the benefits and experiences to the camaraderie, pride and satisfaction, service is something you know well. Now’s the time to consider the promising options available moving forward.

REENLISTING IN THE ACTIVE DUTY NAVY

Some of the advantages of Active Duty service include:

• Reenlistment bonuses and incentives
• Opportunities to further advance your skills

• Generous benefits to help secure your future

The Navy values your skills and experience. Your reenlistment eligibility is determined by several factors, including your reenlistment (RE) Code, physical condition and other criteria, depending on your rank and desired position. To find out if you’re eligible – locate a recruiter now.

If you reenlist, you don’t have to start over or go back to Boot Camp – you’ll be processed through a Transient Personnel Unit (TPU). Depending on your duty assignment and qualifications, you may be required to attend Intermediate or Advanced Training to enhance your career options.
