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.

“The Cairo conference ... is about a complicated web of education and employment, consumption and poverty, development and health care. It is also about whether governments will follow where women have so clearly led them, toward safe, simple and reliable choices in family planning. While Cairo crackles with conflict, in the homes of the world the orthodoxies have been duly heard, and roundly ignored.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
“It’s [motherhood] the biggest on-the-job- training program in existence today.”

“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)
