The '''Isaiah Mackenzie Naval Academy (IMNA)''' has served the Sword and [[Grayson]] for generations.
'''Isaiah Mackenzie Naval Academy is the premier training facility for The [[Grayson Space Navy]] and is a division of the [[Bureau of Training]]. They offer a wide variety of courses in several different subjects. The faculty of the Academy are continually working to improve current curriculum and to develop new and exciting courses for the students to take.  
With the move to our new facility at Alvarez Field, just thirty minutes by aircar from Harrington City,
[[Steading]] of Harrington, we now have the means to train the [[Steader]]s of [[Grayson]] not only to modern
Alliance standards, but to train those same individuals to lead the charge in the technological
race against all future enemies using the time honored methods of hands on training and the usage
of the best simulators currently available anywhere in known space.
 
'''IMNA''' is split into multiple sub-schools grouped into departments and centers for ease of administration.
The campus itself is quite large, using the [[Grayson]] tendency to spread out. Most of the
campus, including the [[Captain Mark A. West Memorial Stadium]] where the Academy’s Baseball team
plays, is under a dome built exclusively for the school’s use. Adjacent to the Academy is [[Alvarez Field]]
itself, where the [[Grayson Space Navy]] has a facility and landing field.
 
The faculty of the Academy are continually working to improve current curriculum and to develop
new and exciting courses for the students to take. Currently the Academy is split into the following
two curricula: Career Advancement, and Skills Development and Verification.

Similar to the Saganami Island Naval Academy, it's mandate is to first provide organizational and leadership training that is required for promotion in ranks within the GSN.

  • Junior Enlisted Training School
