COURSE DESCRIPTION:   A comprehensive study of the theory 
underlying marine navigation, followed by practical 
application.  The course will cover:   (1) basic piloting:  
dead reckoning, terrestrial lines of position, set and drift, 
extensive chartwork; and (2) elements of celestial 
navigation:  solution of the navigation triangle, use of the 
sun, moon, stars, and planets to find a position at sea, 
actual sextant observations of celestial bodies (weather 
permitting).  A field trip to the Adler Planetarium is 
planned.

COURSE DESCRIPTION:  This course covers a variety of subjects 
intended to provide the student with an understanding of the 
role and responsibilities of a Naval Officer.  It aims to 
develop, in each student, necessary managerial and 
professional competencies including (1) a comprehension of 
principles of the Navy Human Resources Management Support 
System (e.g.), Equal Opportunity, Drug and Alcohol Abuse, 
Affirmative Action, and Leadership and Management Education 
and Training, and (2) a knowledge of basic administrative 
responsibilities, naval correspondence procedures, 
maintenance material management, security and safety 
programs, personnel appraisal and evaluation, and military 
laws.  Additionally, personal financial management techniques 
and strategies will be discussed to help prepare the future 
Naval Officers for financial planning. 

PREREQUISITES:  None, Departmental approval required for 
registration, P/N permitted for non-NROTC students.
