Navy Officers to Work at Home

The Navy announced the Virtual Command Pilot Program, allowing a select group of officers to work from home, even if their new assignment would normally require a permanent change of station, according to a Navy News Service article.

The test program will initially be open to eight officer billets. The officers selected for these billets should be self-starters, capable of working independently and maintaining open lines of communication with their supervisors via phone and e-mail. They must be able to travel periodically to their parent commands.
