Navy e-Learning Classes Prior to OCS?

[jg5343]

I was told the reason that they have the online courses posted is because OCS used to be 13 weeks, now it is twelve.

The reason it is 12 weeks now instead of 13 weeks is because they cut out the actual hands on seamanship training on the boats. They used to take a few days and allow you to go out on an actual boat and do all the navigation, phone talking, DC, etc. stuff. By cutting that out they saved some un-Godly amount of money a year so it was a no-brainer to get rid of it. The NKO stuff is to solely 'help' you. And the classes there are a joke no matter how much sleep you have had.

It was nice to go on the YPs to avoid the DIs for the day.........
