Train the Warrior, Educate the Officer

This html article is produced from an uncorrected text file through optical character recognition. Prior to 1940 articles all text has been corrected, but from 1940 to the present most still remain uncorrected.  Artifacts of the scans are misspellings, out-of-context footnotes and sidebars, and other inconsistencies.  Adjacent to each text file is a PDF of the article, which accurately and fully conveys the content as it appeared in the issue.  The uncorrected text files have been included to enhance the searchability of our content, on our site and in search engines, for our membership, the research community and media organizations. We are working now to provide clean text files for the entire collection.

 

Rub-a-dub-dub, seven men in a tub? Not quite. Sit-in trainers train student officers to manuever ships at sea. Just as educa­tion—at Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey, California, for example—should prepare the officer-as-officer to think and to learn, training should prepare the seagoing officer-as-warrior to use his shipboard resources—both men and material.
