Navy Expects to Complete Training for "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" Repeal in June

The Navy announced this Tuesday that it expects to complete its program for training personnel for the implementation of the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" by June 30. A spokeswoman for the Pentagon said they received training plans on Friday from all military services, which were in turn provided with final teaching materials. The training programs are required to include one phase for chaplains, lawyers and civilian public affairs officers, another phase for commanding officers, and a final phase for rank and file. According to a message sent to sailors this Tuesday, the Navy expects to complete its training program for commanders by April 30 and for all other personnel two months later. The Navy is the only military service to have made the details of its training program public. Pentagon spokeswoman Eileen Lainez said that the other services could not provide details at this time, though they are preparing to begin their training programs. The repeal of ?Don?t Ask, Don?t Tell? will officially take effect two months after President Obama, Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates, and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Adm. Mike Mullen certify that the military is ready, though officials say this could happen before the training has been completed.Related Media Coverage:The Washington Post - February 8, 2011"Navy Sets Deadline For Completing Post-'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' Training"http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/02/08/AR2011020805055.html
