DCO Intel & Naval Intelligence Training Course (NITC) formerly known as NBIT

There are prior enlisted in my classes. I don't know what their ratings were, but I believe that you'd still need to go through NITC if you were a prior IS. For example, the CNET IS courses are VERY different from the 1635 course work. The IS courses are required to be completed, but they aren't anything like what you get at NITC.

For those curious, IS = Intelligence Specialist. Enlisted intelligence personnel.
CNET is an online repository of paper based classes. It's different from a straight online course, but you do submit "bubble sheets" online. It's a very antiquated system, but it works.

Dephyler,
I'm not liking the sound of that. I just hope the course work has changed, or this NEC* Totin' IS2 is going to get bored and frustrated really quick. I would be eager to hear what you find out from the prior enlisteds in your course.

I hope to get a better idea of my track for the next two-years, at my upcoming Drill Weekend. I'm supposed to talk to my RIPO to discuss everything. I will post here when I know more.

Thanks for weighing-in.

* The Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC) system supplements the enlisted rating structure in identifying personnel on active or inactive duty and billets in manpower authorizations. NEC codes identify a non-rating wide skill, knowledge, aptitude, or qualification that must be documented to identify both people and billets for management purposes.

Heyjoe, I didn't see the "construction" thread until after I posted this, and in turn, I posted there too just too to let someone know. But anyway, three things: 1) I am patient, sometimes :p 2) it was a humorous suggestion - sorry if you took it seriously, and 2) I would absolutely, without a doubt, 100% go through withdrawls.... ;) I'm still shaking and twitching from the lack of Chat box!

Charlie,
Probably shouldn't be too surprised if Heyjoe comes back with a jab about your ability to count. hehehe :)

I'll find out from some of the guys if they're prior IS. Don't take my word as scripture, though, you may get out of it ;) But, if you don't, at least you'll ace the class :)

Ok new question. I've already spoken to my NIRR and he calls the training "NIOBC", not "NITC" or "NBIT". Also, I was told that the enlisted version got reduced to 12 months but the officer version was upped to 24 months. Can anyone confirm/deny this? Or elaborate?

Appreciated,
Charlie

I have always known the Officer 2 week course as NIOBC-Res. I went through the training of training every drill weekend and then 2 week AT. For enlisted, the 2 week course at Damneck was called IS "A" Res. The drill weekend training had officers and enlisted together. That was in 2000. Things may have changed. It may be different in each region. When you go to your first drill weekend and meet the RIPO, I am sure that all the questions on this area will be answered in a manner of how your region handles it. When this occurs, might be good to post what you find out for future selects.

The Enlisted side is a bit different. Also, if you are a new Intel Officer who was previously an enlisted IS, then the training may be a bit different.

To get your 9600 NOBC:

- Complete NIOBIC-RES (f/k/a/ NBIT, BRIT, BRIT Modules, et al.). This is conducted at your NIRR and is about 8 - 10 months worth of drills
- Complete NIOBIC-RES "Capston." This 2-week AT is conducted at FITCPAC in San Diego
- Complete DCOIC. This 2-week is conducted at Newport, RI
- Complete Department of the Navy Personnel Security Program (NAVEDTRA 14210). This is a correspondence course.
- Have a current SSBI

You can read more in OPNAV INSTRUCTION 1001.25.

Keep in mind that the name change to NITC was about 6 months ago. Big Navy is a slow beast to move and information is disseminated slowly. Not only that, but you have people trying to change their habits. It was called NBIT for years and then changed overnight. My unit CO still sometimes says RIAC and must correct herself, and that change happened over a year ago now.

You will get bad gouge every now and then, so it is good to clarify.

EDIT: FWIW, I went back and looked at the NMITC page and it's pretty out of date.

I gave some bad gouge and removed it from my last post.

Charlie, I actually found some stuff on NKO from the NIRR-SW site about NITC. I went and looked up the actual messages regarding NITC and here's the deal:

NIOBC is broken into 2 parts, phases I and II. Phase I is also called NIOBC ILE. Phase II is NIOBC ILE Phase II.

NITC encompasses the entire Navy Intelligence curriculum, for both enlisted and officers. Here's the quote from the actual message dated 18-MAY-09:

Subj: NOTES TO NIRRS 014-09: NAME CHANGE EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY FOR NAVY
BASIC INTELLIGENCE TRAINING (NBIT)
1. Effective immediately the training program formerly referred to as NBIT
will now be referred to as Navy Intelligence Training Curriculum (NITC).
2. The following course names will remain, with specific Course
Identification Numbers (CINs) . CINs for the Intelligence Specialist 'A"
school (ISA) Integrated Learning Environment (ILE) portion are currently in
process of being created and will be published when confirmed.
a. ISA ILE
b. ISA ILE midstone course
c. ISA ILE capstone course
d. Navy Intelligence Officer Basic Course (NIOBC) ILE R-3A-0118
e. NIOBC ILE Phase I1 (2 wk capstone)
f. Operational Intelligence (OPINTEL) ILE
g. OPINTEL ILE capstone course

Good gouge. Alot is changing. Should be interesting as to how all this will play out for prior IS types. We will soon find out.
