These presentations are for use at the unit level, or even during some Advanced Training (AT) evolutions, if needed. These powerpoints have been derived specifically from chapters of various U.S. Navy Training Manuals, and all presentations are noted with the page numbers/chapters of each manual. Those presentations created from the Seaman manual, for example, can be used either independently, or to teach cadets who are currently enrolled in the course itself.
