an exercise program well before attending. The Navy's PRT program is only part of
the Navy's health and wellness program. Navy blue gym shorts, white socks and
gray t-shirt are required. USCG lettering on t-shirts or shorts is authorized. During
winter months navy blue or gray sweats are encouraged. Reimbursement is not
authorized for any item purchased for PRT.

POLICY AND PROCEDURES.
a.
The CWO Indoctrination Course is mandatory for all CWOs appointed on or after 1
June 1994.
b.
The CWO Indoctrination Course prepares the individual for the transition to the
officer community. Members shall attend the course within one year of
appointment. Waivers to the course are not granted unless the member has an
approved retirement request on file with an effective date within one year of
appointment to CWO. Graduation from the Chief Petty Officer's Academy is not a
substitute for the CWO Indoctrination Course.
c.
Members receiving transfer orders or an approved commissioning date from CGPC-
opm are automatically placed on Training Quota Management Center's (TQC)
waiting list for available quotas to the indoctrination course. Submitting "Short
Term Training Request" (CG-5223) is not authorized. Normally the Navy convenes
a new class every two to three weeks. TQC accepts calls from the individual's
command, the command receiving the individual and the individual. Where
possible the two commands should coordinate available dates. The goal is to
schedule a member as close to the commissioning or PCS date as possible: this
allows the smoothest possible transition. Commands should keep in mind the Navy
promotes a majority of its CWOs and LDOs at the beginning of the fiscal year
versus the Coast Guard's June promotion schedule.
