The Naval Education and Training Command (NETC) is a major command of the United States Navy responsible for training. The Chief of Naval Education and Training (CNET) directs over 22,000 personnel and over 160 various activities tasked with the preponderance of training activities for USN and USMC officer and enlisted personnel. NETC is headquartered at Naval Air Station Pensacola, Florida and holds responsibility for numerous subordinate commands located across the United States. These include, but are not limited to:
- Naval Service Training Command, which has responsibility for:
- the Navy's sole remaining "boot camp" for new accession enlisted personnel, the Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Illinois
- Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps, also headquartered at NAS Pensacola
- Naval Officer Candidate School at Naval Station Newport, Rhode Island
- Naval Education Training Professional Development Technology Center at NETPDTC Saufley Field, Florida
The Naval Education and Training Security Assistance Field Activity (NETSAFA) at NAS Pensacola is a NETC activity dedicated to the education and training of International Military Students attending training at US Navy Commands.
NETC previously had responsibility for the Naval Air Training Command (NATRACOM) under the Chief of Naval Air Training (CNATRA) at NAS Corpus Christi, Texas. In late 2007, NATRACOM and CNATRA was realigned under the Commander, Naval Air Forces (CNAF) at NAS North Island, California.

“I’m not suggesting that all men are beautiful, vulnerable boys, but we all started out that way. What happened to us? How did we become monsters of feminist nightmares? The answer, of course, is that we underwent a careful and deliberate process of gender training, sometimes brutal, always dehumanizing, cutting away large chunks of ourselves. Little girls went through something similarly crippling. If the gender training was successful, we each ended up being half a person.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
“You must neither add anything to what I command you nor take away anything from it, but keep the commandments of the LORD your God with which I am charging you.”
