  • The Quartermaster (QM) is the ship’s GPS. You navigate the open seas, taking bearings and keeping the ship on track to reach its destination. Specializing in maps, charts and oceanography, you will work up in the ship’s pilothouse, watching the sun rise and set each day. Every Sailor relies on your expertise to keep them safe and operational. And the Navy relies on you to keep the mission on course. Learn more at bit.ly/2OXeVtp

    I just came from MEPS and was shooting for QM but got talked in to ACEF because of the advancement rate and regretted it immediately I'll be in contact with my recruiter to Fill out a DAR to get QM before my ship date. Choose what makes you happy don't worry about the other stuff.

      @@onionwhisperer626 They have a shore duty, when their ship/shore rotation comes up. It could be weather station, oceanographic data collection, recruiting, instructor, etc. Almost anything. The thing you have to remember is that ship/shore rotation is usually 4/2, at least it was when I was in back in the early 90s. So as a QM, you would do 4 years at sea, then 2 years on shore rotation, then back out to sea. Its definitely a sailor rating, not like Yeoman or other clerical type rates, where they had 4/4 rotation. You will never get shore duty your first 4 year enlistment, you will be out to sea.

      @@itperdition thanks for the quick reply sir! I leave to go to bootcamp this upcoming monday. And I'm going to be a QM. When I first signed up this virus wasnt a thing so when it came around I slowly started to become nervous about being overseas because I didnt want to be too far away from my family in case anything happened and since I'm in florida I was hoping I'd get to stay in jacksonville on base but after seeing your response it doesnt look like that's going to be the case. Again thank you for the quick response!

      @@onionwhisperer626 No problem. Best of luck to you, as you are in for a heck of an adventure. Your first 8 weeks will be boot in Great Mistakes. I went to boot in Orlando, but the Navy has shut that RTC down for many years now. You will then be shipped off to QM `A` school for several weeks to learn how to do the basics of your job. I couldn't tell you about that, because I never went to `A` school, I was a designated striker. I did however go to QM `C` school in Groton, CT as an QM3. `C` schools are advanced training schools and you usually don't get picked to go to one in your first hitch, but I got lucky. Regardless, after your `A` school, you will receive your orders to report to your ship. You will be the low man on the totem pole, so to speak, but keep a good attitude and LEARN from the other QMs in your department. If you have an old chief around, ask them to teach you celestial navigation and other higher forms of ship handling and navigation. There are many times in my life I have thought back on my time as a QM and it was some of the most rewarding in my life. You will be out there defending us and keeping the shipping lanes open. The safety of your ship and her crew is literally in your hands. Don't screw it up! :D
