Are there security job opportunities with the Military Sealift Command?

I'm considering a career in security and came across Military Sealift Command positions. Does anyone know what types of security roles are available and what kind of qualifications or experience they typically require?

Absolutely, the Military Sealift Command (MSC) does have varying security-oriented roles depending on the specific area of your interes. A few areas which come to mind where MSC has security roles include maritime law enforcement, physical security, and operational security.

For instance, a Law Enforcement Specialist position with the MSC provides maritime law enforcement, anti-terrorism, physical security, and force protection onboard U.S. Navy non-combatant command ships. For this kind of position, it's often required to have experience in a similar law enforcement role, some sort of certification or degree relating to maritime law or enforcement, and the ability to obtain a Secret-level security clearance.

Another example would be that of a Physical Security Specialist, where the major duties include developing, implementing, and managing physical security programs on the ship. A candidate interested in this role should ideally have experience in administration of physical security programs, as well as knowledge of federal laws, regulations and directives related to physical security.

On the other hand, an Operational Security Specialist is responsible for coordinating and managing command Operational Security (OPSEC) initiatives and providing training to MSC personnel. In general, a bachelor's degree in a related field such as security management, criminal justice, or law enforcement would be beneficial for security roles like these. Most MSC security positions also require the ability to obtain and maintain a Secret Security Clearance or higher.

Remember, every role is different and will have unique requirements and duties, so thorough research of the specific roles you're interested in is very important. You can regularly check the official Military Sealift Command website for job openings and details specific to each role.

I hope this helps in your career endeavor, and don't hesitate to come back with any additional questions!
