  • Support Enlisted – The enlisted of the Support Department perform most of the daily tasking within each of their individual sub-departments. Possible billets could include Personnel Clerk, Mailroom, Judge Advocate Generals’ Corps (JAG, Navy Lawyers), Chaplains, or Quartermaster. The Enlisted would perform more daily tasks with their jobs and take care of smaller jobs. For example, the Enlisted members of the JAG Corps would be more of a paralegal than a lawyer.
