Looking to add Reserves to LaDRs


PENSACOLA, Fla. - Enlisted Reserve leaders joined forces with the Naval Education and Training Command (NETC) HQ staff Feb. 13 to discuss ways ahead for Learning and Development Roadmaps (LaDR) as a career tool for both active-duty and reservists. LaDRs have been used primarily by active-duty sailors to navigate careers through a document that outlines training and education milestones for each rating and pay grade. “Our aim working with the Reserve Force is to give Reserve Sailors the same benefit, the same tool that their active-duty counterparts have,” said NETC Force Master Chief Karim Cole. “There is actually a lot of information in the LaDRs already that applies to all of our sailors, so it makes sense to broaden the scope.” The workshop developed an integrated active-Reserve LaDR that will be used by the total force. “We’re rolling up our sleeves and thoroughly reviewing each LaDR to ensure Reserve opportunities and milestones are captured in one document for each rate, including civilian skills where applicable,” said Force Master Chief Chris Kotz of the Navy Reserve Force HQ in New Orleans. “This is a great opportunity to ensure our Navy continues to capitalize on the experience and innovation of the total force, active and Reserve. LaDRs are available on the MyNavy Portal website at https://my.navy.mil, and the Navy Credentialing Opportunities On-Line (COOL) website at https://www.cool.navy.mil/usn. Navy COOL is part of the NETC team that recruits and trains those who serve the nation, and taking them from “street to fleet” and transforming civilians into operational and combat-ready war-fighters, while providing opportunities for learning and development.
