Naval Education and Training Command Force Master Chief Mamudu Cole conducted a site visit to Naval Technical Training Center Lackland in San Antonio, June 28.

Cole assumed his position in March and has been visiting various NETC training activities to gain a better understanding of their mission and training requirements.

While at Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA) Lackland, he also toured the U.S. Air Force Basic Military Training facility.

He met with staff and students of NTTC Lackland to discuss upcoming changes to current training instructions and policy. He saw the master-at-arms "A" school training, including handcuffing and searching techniques, M4 rifle familiarization, a class graduation, as well the Naval Corrections Specialist (and Counselor) training facility.

During his meeting with staff and students, Cole commented on the review of rating names.

"We've changed rates in the past," Cole said. "The goal is to better align our jobs with our civilian counterparts. This is a great time in the Navy to be transparent and inclusive. We are all one. We fight the same war -- one team, one fight."

Cole also discussed the recent introduction of mobile phone applications to Navy training. The applications provide Sailors with access to several general military training (GMT) topics, in addition to other resources such as Domestic Violence Prevention (DVP), Final Multiple Score (FMS) Calculator, Navy COOL, and eDIVO.

"It makes things a lot easier," he said. "Providing multiple options for Sailors to complete their required military training is essential in moving forward with additional technological advances. It makes sense to deliver training and education through the use of mobile devices."

The Center for Security Forces provides specialized training to more than 28,000 students each year. It has 14 training locations across the United States and around the world where training breeds confidence.
