Do you qualify for NF-2?

With experience: You need 6 months or more of general experience and 6 months or more of specialized experience. Specialized experience means helping run recreation activities, such as preparing calendars, keeping attendance records, or giving schedule information. Paid, unpaid, volunteer, and part-time work all count, but you must list the duties and total hours per week for each job. The pay grade is NF 2, but the announcement does not tie the experience to a specific grade.

With education: You can use education instead of experience. You need 2 years of study that included at least 12 semester hours in recreation-related courses, such as basic psychology, group dynamics, physical education, or arts and crafts. The school must be accredited by a U.S. Department of Education-recognized accrediting body.

Bloodborne Pathogen Certification
Navy Basic Fitness Certification (within 90 days of hire)
