Supply Officer
Its a lot of material in a short time - standard fire hose training with the Navy. It isn't difficult, though, as long as you don't blow it off ... and you won't want to blow it off in the beginning. Billet / first tour selection is based primarily off your class standing - so the higher your average, the more choices you have. It pays to be a winner 
They send the students up to Norfolk for a week in the middle of school. This will give you the chance to see many of the types of ships we have in the Navy (if you haven't already), and see first hand what supply officers do. This is before billet selection so you'll know what you want.
All in all - its a good time. There are a lot worse places to be in the Navy than Athens, Georgia....
Send me a msg if you have any more questions or want specific info.

That is good to hear. I will be turning 27 before I graduate from college and am hoping for a supply spot. I was afraid I would be the geriatric candidate of the class (not that it would be bad or anything).

Supply Officer
skim - that would be pretty average
airborne:
It isn't like the aviation community. Av students all want to be on Top Gun and jets are seen as the elite. That isn't at all how it is in the supply community. You will pick your billet based mostly on two things.
1 - Platform/community: not all platforms have all jobs. Supply officers on a sub have different responsibilities than a supply officer for the seabees.
2 - Location: a lot of supply officers already have roots somewhere, so they will want to go to a certain place (so not everyone puts San Diego as #1 choice).
Unlike most line officers, supply officers can go to a lot of different communities, so people don't all want the same thing. Bottom line - you can be # 20 in the class, and still get your first choice, and no one community will put you at a great advantage come promotion board time.
