<p>It's an advanced training course but the first chapter on Photojournalism is worth the read by all photographers. The document is approved for unlimited public release and distributon.</p>

<p>Is there a way to get this where I do not need to sign up for the download service, just scanning it, it seems excellent and interesting. Also do you have the beginning version.<br>

Very nice.<br>

Thanks<br>

<p>Stephen, I believe you need to sign up to download.</p>

<p>Thanks, Robert. It had not occurred to me to look for the basic course.</p>

<p>I wonder if PN can keep local copies for all to view.</p>

Are our tax dollars finially going to something worthwhile?

<p>U. S. Navy photographic training was always excellent. The training was so good in the Pensacolor, FL days that they had to break it up into severa sections in order that the Photographers Mates had to re-enlist to get some of the additional training. Their Aerial Photography training was the best in the world. Many of the great post WWII photographers were trained by the USN in Pensacola.</p>

<p>Some years ago they shut down the Navy program and created the "Armed Forces" photography program, I'm told that it was very good but only a FOOL would move such a program to Maryland where several months of the year you can't photograph outdoors.</p>

<p>I was a Navy Hospital Corpsman "Medical Photographer" in which you had to be at least a second class petty officer (HM2) with 4 years of medical experience and after graduation 4 years left to serve (yes I did that). The US Navy Medical Photography School was the first in the world going back to at least 1936 in the old Washington Navy Hospital, although since the National Naval Medical Center, Bethsda, MD it has been there, I graduated from that program in Jan 1955.</p>

<p>As most of you know, I train photographers at Austin CC and have used Navy photo training courses as reference material for decades.</p>

<p>Thank you so much for the information. Having never received any formal training, I am quite interested to see what I have missed.</p>
