navy supply corps

The Supply Corps of the United States Navy, one of the oldest staff corps in the Navy, traces its beginings to 1795 when the nation's first Purveyor of Public Supplies was appointed. Supply Corps officers are concerned with supply and fiscal issues. These commissioned officers are schooled and experienced in a variety of disciplines such as inventory control, financial management, contracting, information systems, operations analysis, material and operational logistics, fuels management, and physical distribution. Nicknamed "pork chops" or simply "chops", the officers attend the Navy Supply Corps School in Athens, Georgia. The school was first opened in Washington, D.C. in 1921. It moved to its present location in 1954. Officers can earn one or more of three supply badges, the Aviation Supply Corps Badge, the Surface Warfare Supply Badge and the Submarine Supply Corps Badge. As of 2005, Vice Admiral Justin D. McCarthy is the 42nd Chief of the Supply Corps.
