Does anyone know what we are supposed to do on NKO before attending OCS? or where the course work is?

Anything under the Navy OCS link would be great. Even if they don't accept it at OCS it's great to look through the information before you arrive. They're slowly starting to accept some of the tests so by the time you get here they may be using the online stuff more.

Long live the UFC!
This is what I found in a search........
1. Go to the Navy Knowledge Online website at: https://wwwa.nko.navy.mil/
2. If you do not already have a NKO account, click on the "NKO Registration" link and follow the directions to establish an account.
3. Once you are logged into NKO, click on the button for "Personal Development" Then go to "My Education".
4. On the "My Education" page in the upper right hand corner there is a graphic showing some motivating Navy pictures and the text "CLICK HERE TO ACCESS NAVY ELEARNING". Click on this picture to take you to Navy eLearning.
5. On the Navy eLearning page there is a menu down the left hand side of the screen. Click on the bottom button "Advanced Search"
6. On the search page click in the box under "Course Title", enter "OCS", and click the "Search" button.
7. Four topics should come up: OCS Service Etiquette, OCS Naval History, OCS Military Training Requirements, and OCS Physical Readiness Training.
8. To subscribe a topic click on its name and then click on the "Enroll Now!" button.
9. Once you are enrolled in the topics, click on the "My Enrollments" tab on the top of the screen.
10. From the "My Enrolments" page you can click on the "Launch!" button to take the course or click on the "Progress" button to check your current progress in the course.

The Naval History is 9 chapters and will take a while to do. You can print out the Studyguides to help prepare for the Exam (reading on the computer hurts my eyes after a while). It is good to have as you are going through the lessons. The other 3 can be done in about an hour each.

hope this helps

Look at how complicated those instructions are. I tried to do some mandatory GMT a few weeks ago and it was twice that complicated. NKO are you listening?!!!!? I swear that site was designed by Sony.

Wtf is so hard about navigating NKO? I just don't get it. I continually hear nothing but *****ing and moaning from commissioned officers about NKO. In a way, it tends to be like a dog who likes to hear himself bark

I'll tell one huge problem is that for those of us not lucky enough to be plugged into the carriers network (which still isn't that fast), an applet and graphic intensive website does not make it easy to navigate on a WinNT 4.0 system that pulls down 1 k/s on a good day. Trying to conduct business while underway was next to impossible.

Another beef is the layout. The front page isn't intuitive. Can you figure it out? Sure, but why is it that I can go to C|Net or similar site, which has loads of information divided up into multiple sections AND has a forum (all of which NKO has), but it's very easy to navigate. And then when you do find something on NKO, it usually is taking you to some other site. Not a huge deal, but just adds one more step to the process, because then you need to find what it was that it forwarded you to.

And don't get me started on the training lectures (GMT or otherwise). They barely run on NMCI sometimes, and if you click the wrong button w/in the app, <blip> you get to start over.

Ask me about ninjas!
NMCI is the devil, pure and simple.

Not sure if this applies to this thread so much, but does anyone know where I can get to the force protection/anti-terrorism annual training site? No one here seems to remember, and I've got to submit a copy of the requisite training certificate along w/ my leave request for Christmas. I'm going to PR to have a little chat w/ my woman's family, and since PR is on the warning list, I need the training...Again.

Like when you were 12, play around with it for a while and you'll figure it out. It's not that complicated, although at first I was definitely confused.

I took a SERE "class" on it last night and then started to surf through it and found all kinds of cool classes like "MS PowerPoint Expert," etc. Okay, so that's not as cool as if I'd found something like "36 ways to kill your enemy with a ballpoint," but I've been looking to sharpen my PP skills as an intel candidate.

PP's for PowerPoint. I'm all for NKO.
