NAVY SCHOOL MANAGEMENT MANUAL

When a student is dropped from training or attrited from
the Navy, the appropriate course supervisor should inform
student control so the appropriate PEVT code can be used to
support the TSC/DET SCO for input into CeTARS. The TSC/DET
SCO is responsible for ensuring timely update to the
disposition codes when final disposition becomes known.
As with setbacks, drop from training and attrition is
costly. Every effort will be made to maintain each as low
as possible without lowering training standards.
NETC (N7) will monitor drop from training and attrition
trends, both academic and non-academic.
Training managers and course supervisors are responsible
for tracking and evaluating the causes for drop from
training and attrition from the Navy.
If through the monitoring process, the course supervisor
determines that drop from training or attrition is a
problem, a Training Analysis will be conducted by
designated LS/LC personnel.
Appendix B contains a list of elements that will help
course supervisors evaluate the possible causes for drop
from training/attrition/setbacks. This checklist may be
used to pinpoint areas within the specific course that may
cause the rates to increase. The training managers in the
LSO and the training department, the CO, or NETC may also
direct a training analysis.
Total drop from training, attrition, and setback rates for
a course will be analyzed and summarized as training
quality indicators. Refer to Chapter 5, Section 4, for
additional information.
1.6. Time-to-Train (TTT)
TTT is the principal method used to calculate actual
student man-days expended in training. By understanding
and applying the data from TTT, training managers are able
to determine if excess man-days are occurring and for what
reasons. Refer to NETCINST 1510.1 (series) for amplifying
information.
NETC (N7) sets threshold specifications for training under
their cognizance. These specifications are used to
determine if graduates are flowing through the pipeline
within the specified period. Any man-days above the
specification are considered excess. NETC monitors TTT
data frequently and compares actual graduate man-days to
3-7
