The Joy of NKO
In today's Navy most of the learning you do, you do online.
The Navy has this website called Navy Knowledge Online or NKO for short. On this website you can take these little online courses that teach everything from the history of Iraq to how to fire and clean a M9mm pistol.
One of the things, or should I say several of the things you have to do to prepare for an I/A is courses on the NKO site.
To prepeare for the I/A you have to do 14 courses on NKO. Some of these courses take 15 minutes to do. However, most of them take four to five hours to do.
Have I learned anything from these 14 courses? Eh...not really.
I have learned more about the functioning of the M9mm and the M-16. However, most of what is taught on the courses is common sense.
So if you are in the Navy and wanting to test your common sense go the NKO site and see how many of these courses you can do by only using your wits...I bet you are smarter then you give yourself credit for.
