TAO already??</p>
<p>TAO=Plebe Pro Knowledge on steroids</p>
<p>This not only applies to SWOs but also those headed to Pensacola. Someday they will have a disassociated tour and be expected to qualify as a TAO. It is amazing the amount of knowledge that one can actually memorize.</p>
<p>TAO (Tactical Action Officer) -They are the officers who actually fight the ship so they not only have to know all the capabilities of their own platform but also those of any other unit that may be called on, surface, sub-surface, and air. And not to be forgotten, all the capabilities of all the enemy’s forces. An amazing amount of knowledge.</p>
