    Navy officer must be able to assume a variety of duties at sea, in the air and ashore. Officers must be physically fit, at least 19 years old and U.S. citizens.
    You must have at least a bachelor's degree. You can apply for officer programs before earning your degree and as young as 17. The major fields of study required vary depending on the officer specialty.
    Programs leading to a commission as a Navy officer include the Navy Reserve Officers' Training Corps and the U.S. Naval Academy. There are also direct commissioning programs for other qualified candidates.
