Saganami Island Technical Specialties College
The Naval Technical Specialties College trains enlisted personnel for their ratings and officers to lead the divisions and departments in which these ratings work. The Technical Specialties College includes 33 specialties (ratings) in eight departments:
- Command Department
- Administration Department
- Logistics Department
- Tactical Department
- Engineering Department
- Communications Department
- Astrogation Department
- Medical Department
Each rating has three associated courses levels (A, C, and D) and one optional warrant project.
- The A course (rate specific training) is designed to teach E-1 through E-3 enlisted personnel how to perform the duties of their rating. Successful completion of the A level course would allow the member to have their Ship billet changed to include the specialist rating.
- The C course (advanced rate specific training) is designed for non-commissioned officers (E-4 and above) in the rating to expand their knowledge and leadership. Successful completion of the C level course would allow the member to have their Ship billet changed to include the advanced specialist rating.
- The D course (division head qualification) is designed to teach officers how to run a division.
- The Warrant of W project is an optional project open to all students to offer them a chance to advance the specialty in some way.
- Individuals who complete all the D level courses in a department are qualified to lead such a department onboard ship.
Warrant Officer Projects
Warrant officer, or W, projects are different than traditional courses and require the student to propose a project relevant to the subject matter, have it approved by the instructor, and complete the project to the instructor’s satisfaction. All warrant officer projects are graded pass or requires further information or revision. Anyone who has satisfied the course prerequisites may complete a W project; a W project is required for those wishing to hold a warrant officer billet.
To get approval for a W project, you must fill out the “BuTrain Warrant Officer Project Proposal Form” (click here to get form) (and found in the General Academy Questions Forum Useful Links post) and submit it to the appropriate instructor for approval. Using a form helps ensure students provide instructors with the right information for the projects to be approved. However, a student may provide an instructor the same information without the form if they provide all the information included on the form. This proposal form is intended to ensure that proposals meet the requirements for warrant officer projects and provide information to help instructors grade submitted projects. All Warrant Officer Projects must follow this process and must not be something you have already completed, created, or finished prior to applying to do the project.
Types of Warrant Officer Projects
- Write a persuasive paper. You propose a thesis for approval and write a paper to support that thesis. Your proposal must include a thesis statement that states what it is you are going to support or defend and what your conclusion is. The proposal should also state how it relates to the Honorverse and/or TRMN. Your submission for grading would be the paper. It should be at least 3 pages long. You must include references and citations using your choice of documentation style (such as MPA, APA, or bluebook). Any paper received without appropriate citations will be treated as a draft and returned for revision.
- Write an informational paper. You describe a topic as a subject matter expert and relate it to the Honorverse and/or TRMN. Your proposal must include the topic of your paper and how it relates to the Honorverse and/or TRMN. Your submission for grading would be the paper. It should be at least 3 pages long. You must include references and citations using your choice of documentation style (such as MPA, APA, or bluebook). Any paper received without appropriate citations will be treated as a draft and returned for revision.
- Write a research paper. You discuss the different opinions, views, and ideas on a topic in an unbiased manner. Your proposal must include your research topic and how it relates to the Honorverse and/or TRMN. Your submission for grading would be the paper. It should be at least 3 pages long. You must include references and citations using your choice of documentation style (such as MPA, APA, or bluebook). Any paper received without appropriate citations will be treated as a draft and returned for revision.
- Complete a task. You could use something you have learned to do something else, such as using math to plot a course or radar to find something. Your proposal must discuss how this relates to the Honorverse and/or TRMN. Your submission for grading must include the work completed, such as a math proof, or documented evidence of your completing the task such as pictures or video with accompanying descriptions.
- Build or create something. You could propose to build or create something, such as a radio, computer, or computer program to complete a certain task. Your proposal must discuss how this relates to the Honorverse and/or TRMN. Your submission for grading must include proof of the work you did. For example, if you built a radio you can provide pictures of your build, and perhaps a short video of it working.
- Get a certification. You could propose to get an outside certification. Your proposal must provide information on what is required to get the certification and discuss how this relates to the Honorverse and/or TRMN. Your submission for grading must include a copy of the certification and, if you had to do anything for it, a description of what you did.
- Write a fictional story. You could propose to write a fictional story set in the Honorverse. Your proposal must indicate how the story relates to subject matter. To respect the spirit of Admiralty Order 1102-03 regarding fan fiction, any Honorverse-based short story must only feature original characters. It may mention or briefly discuss canon characters or events, but it must not feature these events/characters. If the story includes any “real life” persons in their story (such as other members of TRMN), the student must obtain the other members permission before including them and include a release when they submit the story. Your submission for grading would be the story.
- Write a biographical research paper. You could propose to write a biographical research paper on an individual in history. Your proposal must discuss how this individual relates to the Honorverse and/or TRMN. Your submission for grading would be the paper. It should be at least 3 pages long. You must include references and citations using your choice of documentation style (such as MPA, APA, or bluebook). Any paper received without appropriate citations will be treated as a draft and returned for revision.
- Write new course questions. You could propose to write new course questions for the subject matter. If you wish to do this project, you must complete the D course before doing so. The questions proposed must be different than any current questions and must include the answer and appropriate references. You must include ten multiple choice or short answer/fill in the blank questions (five suitable for the A course and five for the C course) and five short essay questions (with one-paragraph answers) suitable for the D course. Your submission for grading would be the course questions and answer key with appropriate citations.
- Complete a different project. You could propose a different type of project than listed above. Your proposal must include what it is you are proposing to do, what the outcome will be, and how it relates to the Honorverse and/or TRMN.
Information on W projects can also be found in the “How do I complete a warrant officer level specialty project (BuTrain Order 034-16)” pinned post in the Student Questions Forum.
RMN Specialty Rate Tables by Department
When an enlisted member completes the rating course(s) they have selected as their specialty, they can have their rank changed to reflect this rating by talking to their commanding officer. The table below outlines how each of the ranks and ratings are combined.
You will notice there are two types of ratings in the RMN, those for which Petty Officers are addressed as “Mate” such as Intelligence, and those for which Petty Officers are addressed as “Petty Officer” such as Personnelman.
