NAVAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING COMMAND
SEVENTH FLEET TRAINING FRAMEWORK - QUICK REVIEW

Status:
Proposed living framework for Second Life roleplay training.

Executive Intent:
Keep training credible, consistent, and sustainable without turning roleplay into classroom work.

What This Framework Is:
- Roleplay-first training support model
- Practical structure for consistent baseline knowledge
- Fun-first approach that protects in-world interaction time

What This Framework Is Not:
- Real-world military training simulation
- Heavy pipeline, bureaucracy, or workload replication
- A system that blocks social roleplay participation

Core Model (Split Training):
1. Off-world LMS for foundational knowledge
2. In-world sessions for scenario application and interaction

LMS Design:
- Short self-paced modules (about 5-10 minutes)
- Open-book, low-stress quizzes with retakes
- Covers terminology, rank structure, rating basics, safety, and RP expectations
- Unlocks specific drills/qualifications (soft gating)
- Never blocks general roleplay or social participation

In-World Training Design:
- 20-45 minute sessions
- Scenario-driven and story-focused
- Minimal lecture time
- Focus on decisions, interaction, and practical application
- Repeatable and optional where practical

Rating "A" Schools:
- Small number of LMS modules
- Limited short in-world practical scenarios
- Goal: confidence and consistency, not grind

Future Optional Tracks:
- "C" Schools: short enrichment or scenario unlocks for advanced RP specialization
- Officer Education: lightweight orientation/enrichment tracks (OCS, ODS, NPS, NWC concepts)
- All optional and driven by member interest and roleplay value

Expected Benefits:
- Shorter, better in-world sessions
- Reduced instructor burnout
- Faster onboarding
- Better baseline knowledge across the fleet
- Improved long-term retention

Rollout (Incremental):
Phase 1: Define requirements and pilot LMS modules
Phase 2: Tie LMS completion to selected in-world activities
Phase 3: Introduce rating-specific "A" School tracks
Phase 4: Introduce optional "C" School tracks
Phase 5: Introduce optional officer education tracks
Phase 6: Steady-state operation with periodic review and adjustment

Closing:
This is not lowering standards. It puts the right standards in the right environment so training supports roleplay.
