Le droit à la carrière des officiers de la marine

Résumé 0

Marine officers’ Right to a Career The “right to a career” — in other words, a guarantee of job stability and advancement — is presented here as one of the advantages of belonging to the French civil service. It is situated in the wider framework of a system of employer-employee relations and commitments of a diverse nature that the author suggests calling “job exchanges”. In that particular sense, the marine officer’s career constitutes an archetype : above and beyond a contract, the relationship is one of a commitment measured in time and remunerated economically and symbolically. It reconciles two notions in an exemplary manner : the first is statutory, in the sense that it is attached to the rank of officer and implies having successfully passed through the preceding ranks, independently of the posts or jobs occupied; the second is linked to the possibility given to marine officers of pursuing a career by means of job progression, thanks to a recognition of competencies acquired in various posts or during special training, to a greater or lesser degree following set itineraries.
