Sailors considering what career to pursue during their military transition to civilian life, should take stock of their occupational specialty and see what civilian careers match up. For Sailors in the administrative field, their military transition will benefit from the growth of medical office careers. Jobs in the medical field are expected to increase substantially from now through the year 2014.

Sailors who've trained as office managers, office administrators, legal secretaries, administrative assistants or aircraft log clerks, for example, should be aware that their background - handling the administrative needs of 380,000 Sailors - positions them to take advantage of civilian medical office careers like medical administrative assistant, medical transcriptionist and medical biller.

The U.S. Department of Labor projects that medical jobs will grow 27% from now until the year 2014 as more baby boomers retire and the insurance end of the business grows more complex. Sailors who've spent time in the fleet helping their shipmates with their service records; legal and medical administrative needs; the maintenance of aircraft and engine logbooks or any specialty that involved working with logs, records, reports and computer programs - may find a medical administrative career to be a good fit.

Sailors are advised that they can use Navy Tuition Assistance (TA) to take Navy correspondence courses and civilian medical courses online while they are still on active duty. An excellent source for TA information is Allied School's website.
