Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are serious public health concerns in many countries. One of the main strategies in prevention of STDs is training people who are at high risk for STDs. We aimed to train enlisted men in the Turkish Armed Forces while they served their compulsory military service because every healthy Turkish man has to complete this service and they are at high risk for STDs, as well. This study contains two main parts: trainer training and training of enlisted men. The target groups are health noncommissioned officer school students for the trainer training and enlisted men serving in a military medical academy for STD training. For both groups, we prepared and applied different training programs considering each group's knowledge needs on the topic. To describe knowledge needs, we administered a pretest on both groups. First, we trained candidate trainers, then they trained the enlisted men. We evaluated both programs comparing pre- and posttest results. In both programs, mean test scores of the groups increased significantly. Success levels of the groups also increased significantly after using a cutoff point for test scores. With respect to relative effectiveness, attributed effectiveness, and effectiveness ration, the trainers training program was more effective than the other. As a result, our approach to training enlisted men as young adults is effective. We should evaluate the limitations of the study and consider our experiences to make the program more effective.

The Chief's rank in the U.S. Navy is perhaps one of the most elite enlisted groups rank wise that exists for any Navy in the world. With that said, making Chief is not for everyone. One of the first steps is to consider whether you are ready to join the Chief's Mess.
Perhaps the biggest thing an enlisted Sailor can do is to fix and update their records to match what they have achieved in the fleet. Showing the selection board what you have done in the Navy is a vital aspect in helping them decide if you get selected or not. What is important to know is that the ones who have the best records will be the ones who make it. With that in mind, it is critical to know how to find errors in your records, what records to look at and how to correct and update your records. Additionally, do not assume that information is automatically entered into your military records - you need to verify!
