Commander, Navy Recruiting Command

Power in the wake—SBs own the fight along the shoreline.
Special Warfare Boat Operators (SB) carry out high-risk reconnaissance and combat missions across rivers, coasts, and contested waters. Fast, aggressive, and mission-focused, they bring overwhelming force wherever the mission demands.

Silent approach. Heavy firepower. Decisive impact.

Recruiters impact lives every single day.



Hear from NC1 Brenda Robinson, NRC’s FY25 Sailor of the Year, discuss the moment she realized the impact she had on someone’s life. Then check out the whole podcast episode to hear from all the SOY finalists– check out the link in our bio!

When the ship needs to get underway, BMs hold fast.

Boatswain’s Mates (BMs) are the Navy’s deck experts, responsible for seamanship, ship preservation, and small boat operations. They ensure the ship is ready for action, supervise deck crews, support flight deck and amphibious operations, and train Sailors in essential mariner skills.



Versatile. Steady. Sea-tested.

BMs don’t just maintain the ship—they keep the Navy moving on the water.

This Memorial Day, we honor the Sailors, service members, and heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

Their legacy lives on through the freedoms they defended and the generations who continue to serve. 🇺🇸⚓️

What do you like about recruiting? What do you dislike and how would you change it?

Hear from one of the NRC Sailor of the Year finalists and tune in to episode 53 of Uncharted Waters.

When the mission unfolds, Mass Communication Specialists (MCs) are already rolling.
MCs move with the Fleet – capturing real-time action through video, photography, writing, design. From the flight deck to the front line, they document the moments that define operations and carry the Navy’s story worldwide.

Creative. Tactical. Voice of the Fleet.
MCs don’t just capture the mission – they bring it to life.
