Modly up-close with Navy training

PENSACOLA, Fla. - Under Secretary of the Navy Thomas Modly received an up-close look May 10 at training offered by the Naval Education and Training Command (NETC) and activities aboard Naval Air Station Pensacola, Fla. Modly has initiated a clean-sheet review of the approach to education across the Navy and Marine Corps. He is working to instill a learning culture with his "Education for Seapower" initiative. He was shown NETC’s update on the latest force development approaches that take recruits from the street to the fleet by transforming them into combat-ready war-fighters at 236 learning sites around the globe. Afterwards, he stopped at the Naval Air Technical Training Center (NATTC) to see a demonstration of the Multipurpose Reconfigurable Training System 3D simulator that provides initial accession aviation maintenance for personnel. Stop No. 3 was at the Center for Information Warfare Training, where leaders discussed approaches to keeping up with technology advances in dynamically evolving warfare areas. He also toured the Information Warfare Training Command’s Joint Cyber Analysis Course, which trains multi-service cryptology personnel to perform technical network analysis in cyberspace operations. At the end of the day, Modly visited the Naval School of Aviation Safety that educates aviation officers on conducting aggressive mishap prevention programs.
