Recruiting for:

Naval Reservists serve in a variety of exciting and challenging occupations.

Many Navy occupations train to go to sea in Navy ships. Available “hard sea” occupations include: Marine Technician (MAR TECH), Naval Combat Information Operator (NCI OP), Boatswain (BOSN), and Naval Communicator (NAV COMM).

Other occupations support the work of the Navy from ashore. This list includes: Supply Technician (SUP TECH), Human Resources Administrator (HRA), Financial Services Administrator (FSA), Intelligence Operator (INT OP), Port Inspection Diver (PID), and COOK, who may also go to sea.

All of the above occupations are classified as Non-Commissioned Members (NCMs). They are specialists within their area of expertise, and will gradually grow into leadership roles as they gain skills and experience.

By contrast, commissioned Officers are expected to be generalists, with a broader scope of material. They are placed in positions of leadership immediately following training, and are responsible for the effectiveness, discipline, and morale of the members under their supervision.

The Officer occupations currently available at HMCS YORK are: Naval Warfare Officer (NWO), for those with (or in the process of obtaining) undergraduate degrees; and for those who have relevant degrees and work experience, Training Development Officer (TDO), Logistics Officer (LOG O), and Chaplain (CHAP).
