The Navy gave you its own language for the work you did. Civilian hiring managers don't speak it. We bridge that gap for you.

The Navy describes the Logistics Specialist (LS) rating as the Sailors who manage the inventory that keeps missions moving: they order, store, check and issue repair parts and other goods, receive and inspect arriving cargo and mail, keep the inventory database and financial records, and run Navy post offices. Civilian employers call this inventory, shipping and receiving, and logistics work, which is why those roles lead this page's matches.

Copy from your evals or just type what you did as a Logistics Specialist Sailor, plus any real numbers.
We translate everything into civilian language and build the whole resume. Nothing invented.

I served on active duty in the U.S. Air Force from 2001 to 2009 as a 2W0 Munitions Systems specialist and a C-130 Loadmaster. I served in the Air Force, not the Navy, so this page is built from O*NET and BLS data rather than my own memories. The problem is the same in every branch: your experience is valuable, and it has to be written in the civilian employer's language.

Lead with a civilian job title that fits what you actually did (the matches on this page, like stockers and order fillers, are a good place to start), and add a secondary line like 'Military title: Logistics Specialist (LS), U.S. Navy'. Recruiters search civilian titles; the code helps veteran-focused employers.
O*NET maps LS to 29 related civilian occupations. The closest matches include shipping, receiving, and inventory clerks, logistics analysts, and stockers and order fillers.
