So, I'm following some of Citrus's entries into the chat box.. I'm trying to decide if everyone tests individually or weekly or just how does it work.

When I went thru NHCS in 68-69, we were in classes for about 8 hours a day, with various courses in all kinds of different subjects. We were subject to tests on any day in any class, but they were very structured classes, so we usually had advanced warning about tests.

I guess I'm just trying to get a handle on the new Corps School.

From what I can tell, they structured it so that they can turn out the best corpsman the instructors can produce. Everything is more uniform, which helps alot.

Ben;

I believe they attend class, practicals and test together as a class.

Thats how it was a few months ago when I went through, think its still basically the same. Not sure what they do after school though, thats changing. Its kinda like college, go to school, they let you know when your test is, you come in on that day and the whole class tests. ( at a specific time the class tests as a whole ) different classes are pretty much testing all day every day, each class more than likely taking a different test. Its all computer based.

usually it's one test a week, sometimes two a week. There were 13 tests when i went through, everything was computer based. We did everything as a class, study, pt, ect.... You get your grade right after the test. If it says good job then you know you passed, on the other hand if there was a paragraph at the end you knew you failed it right off the bat.

If i remember correctly, it was an 8 hour day mixed up with PT, lectures, class and quiet study. They also started doing NMT after class, which was an hour or two then lib call...

NMT is fracking boring.

"1. Navy Military Training (NMT) continues the Sailorization process started at Recruit Training Command. NMT is comprised of three major components: a formal curriculum, a positive military environment, and a professional military staff committed to providing leadership, supervision, mentoring, counseling and positive reinforcement.

2. NMT is designed to span the new Sailors' first year in the Navy and be a partnership between the fleet and Naval Education and Training Command (NAVEDTRACOM) to ensure the continued professional military development of junior enlisted Sailors. NMT falls under the Leadership Continuum. NMT polices and procedures are found in NETCINST 1540.20 (https://www.cnet.navy.mil/cnet/nmt_new/cnetinst1540_20.pdf) and OPNAVINST 1500.22E (https://www.cnet.navy.mil/cnet/gmt/opnav1500_22e.pdf) for GMT."

Looks like good stuff to know! Remember, there are a good many Sailors who graduate RTC and seem to develop memory lapse, with respect to some of this training they received at RTC. Not to mention fleet returnees.

Unfortunately, we are required to give 105.5 hours of NMT instruction, so thems the breaks.

[IT3_to_HM3]

How do you go about in making NMT at least somewhat palatable?

[pegasusHM]

Whoa......You are a Third-class Petty Officer. It is what you make of it. Do not go in with the wrong attitude, take something away from it, and it will be over before you know it. Also, watch how you present yourself in front of the other students, as they will see how and what you do, and do the same. That kind of poison is something we can do without here. 'nuf said.

I say again:

Looks like good stuff to know! Remember, there are far to many Sailors who graduate RTC and seem to develop memory lapse, with respect to some of this training they received at RTC. Not to mention fleet returnees.

All training should be looked upon with zeal, it's an opportunity to perfect yourself. After all NMT is what's expected of you, and should be demonstrated at all times.

First impressions are formed within seconds, so you want to present your best and professional image at all times. You won't get a second chance. A bad first impression can make or break a career!

[IT3_to_HM3]

What I meant is, there are some training that is boring, and sometimes there is very little you can do about it.

I had to do training a while back on message traffic or the correct way to type up a message.

I tried to make it as least painful as possible. But the material itself is very bland.

[IT3_to_HM3]

Also, I find medical training very interesting, and most NMT isn't that bad.
