NAVY OFFICER BILLET CLASSIFICATION CODES

NOBCs identify officer billet requirements and officer occupational experience acquired through billet experience or through a combination of education and experience.

An NOBC provides a general description of duties performed in a billet. It is not meant to cover every duty required of the job nor is every duty listed necessarily a requirement for the billet. Similarly, an NOBC in an officer's record does not necessarily indicate that the officer has experience in every duty listed in the definition. The NOBC identifies a group of officer billets which are similar but not necessarily identical in scope and nature of duties.

Analysis of information contained in a reserve officer's qualifications records maintained by the Naval Reserve Personnel Center (NAVRESPERSCEN) is the basis for assigning NOBC codes to inactive duty Naval Reserve officers. The Inactive Officer Master File, because of limitations, displays only the latest four NOBCs attained for:

1. Civilian occupational experience and education as reported on the Annual Qualification Questionnaire
2. Active duty experience as reported on the Officer Data Card
3. Experience and education attained through Reserve participation when evaluated and certified by designated authority

NAVRESPERSCEN maintains all other NOBCs on file. Submit requests (sample NOBC request letter [link dead; see http://www.nrjag.org/nobc.htm) for new NOBC certification via the chain of command to NAVRESPERSCEN per BUPERSINST 5400.42 series.
