<p>no question more Fleet training would benefit them, but that’s not in the current program, and you don’t get more Fleet training by cutting ECs that might have given them similar opportunities. Change the current 4 year program into something else (5 years?) and maybe you have that ability. And maybe meeting Seaman Jones would be good and through that contact they would develop the perspective necessary to deal with the scenarios you described. I do think they would benefit more from a combination of training and exposure to real life experiences in and out of the Navy, that has to be better than just being thrown into the mix while we hope some of the reality of life that young enlisted men and women face rubs off.</p>
