Navy Training Courses Navy  training  courses  are  written  for  the specific purpose of helping personnel prepare for advancement. Some courses are general in nature and  are  intended  for  use  by  more  than  one  rating; others (such as this one) apply to the particular rating. Navy  training  courses  are  revised  from  time to time to bring them up to date. The revision is identified  by  a  letter  following  the  NAVEDTRA number.  You  can  tell  whether  a  Navy  training course  is  the  latest  edition  by  checking  the NAVEDTRA  number  in  the  most  recent  edition of  the  List   of   Training   Manuals   and   Cor- respondence   Courses,   NAVEDTRA   10061. There   are   Navy   training   courses   that   are prepared  only  to  present  information  on  the military  standards  for  advancement  to  HM1  or HMC.  These  courses  are  as  follows: 1.
