Education. Education is being taught broad, general, and specific knowledge. This knowledge prepares you for the specific skills you will receive through training. Education refers to schooling not directly related  to  your  naval  career.  Because  of  that, education programs are sometimes referred to as off-duty educational opportunities. 16-24 Student Notes:
