  • May frequent the Airman's club and base collocated or enlisted club for professional, social, and entertainment purposes.

  • Will be housed separately, when feasible, from Phase I through IV Airmen by the most appropriate means (different floor or wing of the building). Phase V Airmen may reside in permanent party and TDY dormitories if per diem and lodging costs are not incurred.

  • Are exempt from military training formations (EXCEPTIONS: Weekly PRT session, monthly fitness evaluation, monthly room inspection, and one-time formations directed by the squadron commander).

  • Will participate in an Airman’s council facilitated by an MTL. Meetings will be held at least once a month and include selected briefings similar to those provided in the first term Airmen center. Phase V Airmen will also be encouraged to assist MTLs with mentoring Airmen and leading Phase I through III activities such as assisting Airmen during inprocessing, leading safety briefings, etc.

Remedial Military Training (MTR)

RMT is assigned to those with discipline problems. It's a 12-hour session conducted on Saturday, Sunday, or other non-training day. The goal of RMT is to rehabilitate and reenergize Airmen in technical training who need to be motivated or “re-blued” and to return them with a positive outlook and strong desire to succeed. This will be done by limiting their free time, providing additional military training, and reinforcing the importance of following directions and maintaining standards. A portion of this experience will be tailored around individualized counseling and mentoring with a focus on core values, character building, discipline, and the aerospace expeditionary force (AEF).

RMT is a structured, intense, 1-day program for a maximum of 12 hours. Airmen will be entered into Phase I upon identification for RMT and remain in Phase I until successful completion. MTLs will conduct this program and be present for the entire RMT session. RMT will be conducted by the squadron, det, GSU, or OL personnel and only on nonduty days.

Placement of an Airman into RMT will be approved by the SMTL or higher. Once identified, the NPS Airman will attend the next scheduled RMT session.

Assigning RMT to an entire group based on the deficiencies of one or a few individual’s is not authorized.

As a minimum, RMT will consist of the following: two different uniform inspections, room or bay inspections, open wall locker inspections, PT (a run is not required), march to and from all activities, and sidestep through the dining facility servicing line. During inclement weather, drill may be replaced with academic study and PT will be conducted in the gym, if available.

RMT Airmen may perform normal squadron duties and duties associated with CQ (for example, cleaning, taking out trash, dusting). However, they will not be the CQ or charge of quarters runner (CQR), answer phones, or perform security checks.

NPS Airmen wishing to attend a church service will be excused for a short period to exercise that choice if no other timeframe is available.

After successful completion of RMT, Airmen will return to the previous phase. Airmen who fail RMT will remain in Phase I until successful completion of the next scheduled RMT.
