Steward skills transferred into logistics and civilian leadership

What happens to a steward who is so good at the job that nobody wants to let them do anything else?

They can move up with the officer they support, transfer to another officer, or enter officer training with senior recommendations; some also build successful civilian careers.

A capable steward can follow an officer through promotion, transfer to another officer, or receive support for officer training. Some become logistics officers, while others enter the warfare branch and work toward command at sea. Multitasking, organization, and personal interactions also transfer into civilian employment. Alex Clarke knows five former stewards who became heads of human resources at companies employing thousands of people. These examples show career opportunities beyond the original assignment, although they are personal observations rather than employment statistics.
