Naval Nuclear Power Training Command
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Naval Nuclear Power Training Command (NNPTC) is the parent organization within the United States Navy's Education and Training division that is responsible for educating enlisted and commissioned personnel of the US nuclear naval program. NNPTC houses Nuclear Field "A" School and Naval Nuclear Power School. These two schools were formerly independent entities run by separate commanding officers and structures. NNPTC was created in 1993 to streamline the command structures of both schools, with each school ultimately reporting to a single commanding officer of NNPTC.
[edit] History of Locations and Commanding Officers
NNPTC was originally created when the two schools were located at the former Naval Training Center Orlando (Florida). The first Commanding Officer of NNPTC was Capt Steven G. Slaton (USN Ret), who was the commanding officer of Nuclear Field "A" School when NNPTC was created in 1993.
When NNPTC graduated its final class in December 1998, the organization moved to Naval Weapons Station Charleston in Goose Creek, South Carolina. The current commanding officer is Capt. Thomas Bailey.
