- 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 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 say that male and female are cast in the same mold; except for education and habits, the difference is not great.”

“Under bare Ben Bulben’s head
In Drumcliff churchyard Yeats is laid.
An ancestor was rector there
Long years ago, a church stands near,
By the road an ancient cross.
No marble, no conventional phrase;
On limestone quarried near the spot
By his command these words are cut:
Cast a cold eye
On life, on death.
Horseman pass by!”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
