CPPD Launches Course to Help Sailors

The Center for Personal and Professional Development (CPPD) has released a new scenario-based training program, "Liberty Call," which reinforces Navy core values and shows Sailors how to make the right choices in difficult social situations. Liberty Call consists of a series of scenarios that follow four Sailors over the course of a weekend. Each Sailor is faced with a set of challenges and is given goals as the weekend liberty commences. At the conclusion of each scenario, a senior enlisted facilitator leads the class in a discussion of what happened, why it happened, and what was the right decision. The course covers core Navy military training topics including suicide awareness, sexual harassment, fraternization, discrimination and alcohol abuse. Sailors are to take the two-day course prior to their first liberty. For more information, visit CPPD’s Personal Development page on Navy Knowledge Online at www.nko.navy.mil.
