Explain the following major milestones in the career of a Submarine Officer A. Initial Training Pipeline C. Post Division Officer Shore Tour D. Department Head Tour Understand the incentive programs associated with the Submarine Officer Explain how the following events shaped the history of the Submarine Force A. Pre-WWI submarine development B. WWII
C. The Cold War and Nuclear Power Briefly describe the aspects of the Submarine Force lifestyle and culture that make it unique when compared to other communities. This discussion should include, but is not limited to: living conditions, watch rotation, typical daily schedule, and crew size. Understand the homeport location and breakdown of U.S. Submarines Discuss the pros and cons of the Submarine Community with a qualified Submarine Officer I. INITIAL TRAINING PIPELINEi Upon graduation from college, the formal training process of becoming an Officer in the Naval Nuclear Propulsion program is officially underway. These newly commissioned Officers, from one of three sources (ROTC, USNA, OCS) move on to receive the advanced training that is at the core of Navy Nuclear Propulsion. This includes an academic curriculum that is recognized as one of the most difficult in the world – rivaling the top-notch nuclear programs at universities such as Harvard and MIT. And experientially, the hands-on application of what is learned – in settings at sea and ashore – is in a class by itself. Three training commands must be completed prior to being assigned to a submarine: Naval Nuclear Power School (NNPS) Through Naval Nuclear Power Training Command (NNPTC), Officers will attend Nuke Power School in Charleston, South Carolina. This 24-week graduate-level course of intensive study covers a variety of science and technology-based subjects from ordinary and partial differential equations to thermodynamics to reactor dynamics. NNPS provides the foundation of knowledge necessary for a theoretical understanding of nuclear propulsion. Nuclear Power Training Unit (NPTU) Often referred to as Prototype, this 26-week phase of the learning process involves hands- on training at one of two NPTUs – in either Charleston, South Carolina, or Ballston Spa, New York – where there are several reactor prototypes in operation. Here, Officers apply the concepts learned at Nuke Power School – studying systems and components of a nuclear propulsion plant and working with all the associated systems of a full-scale operating plant. The training culminates with qualification as Engineering Officer of the Watch. Submarine Officer Basic Course (SOBC) During this 12-week course that takes place in New London, Connecticut, Officers learn all about submarine operations, including safety, damage control, seamanship and the responsibilities of leading an advanced submarine crew as a division Officer, before reporting to an assigned submarine. Officers may receive an additional six weeks of advanced training through the strategic weapons system course at Trident Training Facilities in either Kings Bay, Georgia, or Bangor, Washington.
