WEBVTT 00:02.269 --> 00:05.530 Bridge , port lookout , contact surface 00:06.190 --> 00:10.109 bearing 180 . I'm BM1 Vaez . 00:10.460 --> 00:12.627 I am the course supervisor here at VMA 00:12.627 --> 00:14.849 Schoolhouse . I've been in the Navy for 00:14.849 --> 00:16.793 14 years . Uh , VVR is our virtual 00:16.793 --> 00:18.960 reality course that we provide here at 00:18.960 --> 00:21.127 the schoolhouse . Um , we have courses 00:21.127 --> 00:23.460 such as Lookout Helmsman , Lee Helmsman , 00:23.460 --> 00:25.349 and this VR lab we have gives the 00:25.349 --> 00:27.571 students their hands-on that they might 00:27.571 --> 00:29.516 need for the fleet , and it better 00:29.516 --> 00:31.571 prepares them with their repeat bags 00:31.571 --> 00:33.682 and how to actually , uh , do the job 00:33.682 --> 00:35.793 that we have to do out there at sea . 00:35.793 --> 00:35.709 Yeah , the VVR experience is pretty 00:35.709 --> 00:37.970 great . I really wish I had this back 00:37.970 --> 00:41.119 in 2012 when I came to the school . I'm 00:41.119 --> 00:43.286 BMT Wright . I've been in the Navy for 00:43.286 --> 00:45.452 5 years . I'm from Grayson , Georgia . 00:45.452 --> 00:47.619 I think the VPR that we've implemented 00:47.619 --> 00:47.529 at the schoolhouse has really been 00:47.529 --> 00:49.696 beneficial for the students . It gives 00:49.696 --> 00:51.696 them the on the job training before 00:51.696 --> 00:53.862 they get out to the fleet , helps them 00:53.862 --> 00:53.330 understand repeat facts , which is one 00:53.330 --> 00:55.849 of the hardest things to grasp . 132 . 00:57.020 --> 00:59.187 It's really a simulator , kind of puts 00:59.187 --> 01:01.242 them in that mindset that they're on 01:01.242 --> 01:03.409 the ship , something that they haven't 01:03.409 --> 01:03.090 really got to see besides battle 01:03.090 --> 01:05.201 stations and boot camp , really brief 01:05.201 --> 01:07.312 period . Um , gives them more of that 01:07.312 --> 01:09.479 training that what they're going to do 01:09.479 --> 01:13.389 specifically is . I'm BMSA Sanchos and 01:13.389 --> 01:15.445 I'm from California and I joined the 01:15.445 --> 01:18.370 Navy to be able to travel . The VR 01:18.370 --> 01:20.592 experience is really great , you know . 01:20.592 --> 01:22.703 I think it really prepares me for the 01:22.703 --> 01:24.569 fleet because it helps you learn 01:25.169 --> 01:27.113 everything that deals with being a 01:27.113 --> 01:29.169 poster mate , to be honest , it gets 01:29.169 --> 01:31.319 down to the . Learning the navigation 01:31.319 --> 01:33.319 and just learning to repeat backs . 01:33.559 --> 01:35.615 then you have to learn how to do I'm 01:35.615 --> 01:37.580 BMSR Lauta . I'm from Riverside , 01:37.900 --> 01:40.122 California . I joined for the traveling 01:40.122 --> 01:42.739 and benefits . My VR experience was 01:42.739 --> 01:45.209 pretty great . helped me to learn all 01:45.209 --> 01:47.750 the callbacks , all the repeatbacks . 01:49.279 --> 01:50.430 just getting ready for the fleet .
