Navy Knowledge Online Consolidates Sailors’ Files

Sailors can log on to Navy Knowledge Online at www.nko.navy.mil to review both their Electronic Training Jacket (ETJ) and their Sailor/Marine American Council on Education Registry Transcript (SMART) transcript. Sailors should follow the instructions for logging in, proceed to the home page, click on the education link under the resources group, then choose between the ETJ or SMART links. SMART provides the American Council on Education’s recommended college credit for military occupational experience and training. It replaces the DD295 form, Application for Evaluation of Learning Experiences during Military Service, which formerly was submitted to colleges by Sailors and Marines to verify college credit for military experience. Currently, the ETJ is accessible by active-duty and Reserve Navy personnel. Future phases will allow accessibility by the Marine Corps, Department of the Navy civilians and eventually, anyone with prior Navy or Marine Corps service.
