GREAT LAKES, Ill. (June 28, 2023) – Fire Controlman (Aegis) 1st Class Eric R. Hairston Jr., Surface Combat System Training Command Great Lakes Naval Military Training Instructor (NMTI), stands in rank after being one of the first Sailors at the command to qualify as NMTI earning a corresponding ball cap. NMTI’s provide leadership, mentorship, and professional development to new-accession Sailors prior to fulfilling their first tour in the Fleet. The role that NMTIs play in forging the Navy’s future is no small task. Nearly one-third of all Sailors graduating from Recruit Training Command, around 5,000 young men and women, transfer annually to “A” School campuses on Naval Station Great Lakes for accession-level training. An NMTI is responsible for leading 250 to 400 of those Sailors daily. (U.S. Navy Photo by Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Cory Asato)
