Slide 2 of 71
Notes:
1. Highlight the Surface Force Training Manual (SURFTRAMAN) as the key document to understanding the many events (i.e. CART, TSTA, FEP,etc) that make up the Basic Training Cycle as well as the entire TTS.
2. PCO’s and PXO’s must take the opportunity while in their pipeline training here at SWOS to read the SURFTRAMAN. For the PXO’s this document will provide a great deal of understanding on the processes they will be responsible for not only as XO but also as ITT LEADER and DCTT LEADER
3. Highlight the fact that this document (SURFTRAMAN) is an evolving document. This is due primarily to the onset of the Engineering Readiness (E-CERT) process and the changing face of the TTS, as well as the Basic Training Phase. The best reference is face to face with your ATG/TYPE COMMANDER/PEB counterparts.
