| 1. Purpose. To provide updated information
for ordering correspondence courses from the Naval Education and Training
Professional Development and Technology Center (NETPDTC). To announce
that the new Basic
Military Requirements Course (BMR), course number is 14325
and to reiterate the sections and chapters of the BMR that should be
completed prior to Recruit Training. Reinforce procedures for advancement
to PO1 and CPO and set guidelines for crediting of the new combined
PO3/PO2 course.
2. Background. Ref (a) gave specific instructions
that Sea Cadet's and units cannot access courses or submit answers
to courses on-line. This is still valid as of this letter and as a
reminder, units are not allowed to utilize Reserve Centers to obtain
correspondence courses. ALL requests for courses are to be submitted
and graded by NETPDTC.
Remember: Each cadet will receive his/her own course. It will not
be "shared" with other cadets for completion credit and will
accompany the cadet if transferred to another unit.
3. Discussion. NETPDTC has created
an online NRTC Enrollment
Page to allow the Commanding Officer or designated Training Officer
to enroll Sea Cadets and order follow-on courses. ONLY ONE PERSON IS
PERMITTED TO ORDER COURSES. The unit must decide which person this is
going to be. It can be only one and CADETS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ORDER
COURSES! NETPDTC
has consolidated the Petty Officer Third Class (PO3) and Petty Officer
Second Class (PO2) Correspondence Courses. See paragraph 4d for procedures.
4. Action. Post this letter in the NSCC/NLCC Advancement and Training Manual
immediately following the Record
of Changes Page. Enter this letter as change 4 on the Record of
Changes page. Incorporate the following in your training planning
effective immediately.
(a) NETPDTC
has assigned each unit its own Unit Identification Code (UIC). The
unit adult designated to order courses must contact Debra Saunders
at (850) 452-1001 ext. 2071 to obtain the UIC and a password. This
allows Debra Saunders to verify information such as correct mailing
address. Once you have the UIC and password you may access the site
www.courses.cnet.navy.mil.
Select "Command Representative". Enter your UIC and password.
You will then be prompted to enter a "new password" of your
choice for future use. To enroll/order courses select "Sea Cadet
Enrollment". Simply enter the requested information. A drop down
menu is available to select the course you are requesting. Hit "Submit
Enrollment". This is done for each cadet. Once you have finished
ordering courses "Log-Off". It is imperative that Social Security
Numbers are correct. It is a monumental task to correct wrong social
security numbers. If there is a change to the unit CO or designated
adult, it is imperative that Debra Saunders be informed.
(b) NETPDTC has
developed a new BMR course, number 14325. Chapter 1, sections on
Hazing, Sexual Harassment, and Fraternization, and Chapters 5, 6,
9, and 10 must be completed prior to attending NSCC Boot Camp. While
completion of these chapters is best and required for cadets with
adequate time to order and complete the requirements, review and
study of these specific chapters and sections at the unit level
for new cadets is sufficient. (NETPDTC will not grade individual
sections or chapters) If a cadet is currently enrolled in the old
course number 12018 do not order the new course. If the cadet recently
received course 12018 completion of the same sections and chapters
are required prior to attending NSCC Boot Camp. The unit CO signature
on the request for training NSCTNG 001 certifies that the cadet is ready
for recruit training and that he or she is knowledgeable of these
specific sections and chapters.
(c) These changes may delay receipt of courses at the unit level.
Some TWT and other summer training have course completion prerequisites.
If a cadet cannot complete a particular course that is a required
summer training prerequisite, he or she may still attend the summer
training with the permission of the COTC.
(d) Include in Chapter Two, Paragraph F2 the following information.
There is only "one" course for PO3 and PO2. It is a combined
course. Cadets must complete the entire course regardless of current
rate. Cadets completing the course for Petty Officer Third Class (PO3)
will also be given credit for completing the Petty Officer Second
Class (PO2) course with the same grade. Cadets that completed the
PO3 course prior to the consolidation will be required to do the
complete course (PO3/PO2) to receive credit for the PO2. Unit commanding
officers are reminded that the Executive Director is the approving
authority for advancement to PO1 and CPO. When submitting a request
for advancement to PO1 and CPO the following documentation will be
included:
- Letter of Recommendation
- Copy of NSC-19a
- Copy of completion certificate for the PO1 correspondence
course
- Copy of memo with passing grade for the PO1 exam from the
Field Representative
- For CPO all of the above plus POLA completion certificate
and a copy of the CPO correspondence course completion certificate.
(e) This letter supercedes Action Letter 11-97.
4. Cancellation. This letter is considered cancelled upon inclusion
in the NSCC/NLCC Advancement
and Training Manual.
