The retired senior chief now works as a software engineer for Microsoft, supporting the front-end and back-end development of Microsoft Store for Business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before landing the gig, Jeff didn\u2019t think his naval career had prepared him for his ideal job. As an electrician\u2019s mate for a nuclear power program, he\u2019d instead learned how to operate the reactors and generators to produce electrical power aboard ships. The role was a welcome challenge, but not as tech-based as he would have liked. So computer programming remained a hobby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy programming experience was entirely self-taught,\u201d Jeff says. \u201cI didn\u2019t think I had the requisite knowledge to be able to get a job as a software engineer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But four years before his pending retirement, he began thinking about how to put his college degree to work in tech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBy that point I knew I wanted to go into IT,\u201d Jeff says. \u201cSo I started looking at possible jobs as an IT project or program manager, because those things were kind of like being a chief in the navy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When he first discovered <a href=\"https:\/\/military.microsoft.com\/programs\/mssa\/\">Microsoft Software &amp; Systems Academy (MSSA)<\/a> and its cybersecurity administrator course in San Diego, California, he jumped at the opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After completing the MSSA program, Jeff earned a job offer from Microsoft and started working at their Redmond, Washington, headquarters. By commuting and working remotely, he sees his family in San Diego often, a boon compared to his time in the Navy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy life has changed pretty dramatically,\u201d he says. \u201cThe MSSA program is a great way for our transitioning military members to move into a career that is challenging and rewarding.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check out the stories from these MSSA graduates to learn more about the program and how it can set you up for the next rewarding phase of your life:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.armytimes.com\/native\/microsoft-systems-academy\/2019\/04\/25\/from-army-to-microsoft-in-18-weeks\/\">Chetana Adhikari, Army veteran<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marinecorpstimes.com\/native\/microsoft-systems-academy\/2019\/04\/25\/marine-lands-dream-career-in-tech\/\">Jovan Fitzgerald, Marine Corps veteran<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.airforcetimes.com\/native\/microsoft-systems-academy\/2019\/04\/25\/air-force-vet-gets-a-fresh-start\/\">Alexandria Lara, Air Force veteran<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/native\/microsoft-systems-academy\/2019\/04\/25\/going-digital-your-fast-track-to-a-career-in-tech-4\/\">Your fast track to a career in tech<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":39918,"menu_order":0,"template":"single-native-legacy","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":"11"},"advertiser":[3438],"class_list":["post-17540","native","type-native","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","advertiser-microsoft-systems-academy"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"FCMIAPHPJFDGNB2QSSMKEUKHRQ","arc_canonical_url":"\/native\/microsoft-systems-academy\/2019\/04\/25\/out-of-the-navy-and-into-it\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"native-layout","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Out of the Navy and into IT - Navy Times<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Jeff Peterson served 20 years in the U.S. Navy \u2014 but he always mused about the idea of working in tech.
