If you do "real" civil engineering work for the Navy, then it may count as qualifying professional experience, even if your supervisor is not a PE. Federal agencies, like the US Navy or Army Corps of Engineers, are legally exempt from state licensing laws. State boards know this, and they will typically grant credit for "real" engineering experience gained under the Federal exemption. In this case, your boss doesn't have to be a state-licensed PE; if he was authorized by the Federal government to be in responsible charge of engineering work, then that should be considered PE-equivalent. It's the same principle as granting experience credit for engineering work in foreign countries.

Fabulous. I was unaware of that, but then, I'm a little confused by the inner-workings of my state licensing board. =) Thanks for the info, Corbett!
