Aviation Standard Test Battery-E (ASTB E) Practice Test

Which of the following is NOT a primary function of the Navy's Recruit Training Command?

1. Conducting physical fitness assessments

2. Training recruits to become Sailors

3. Medical evaluations for personnel

4. Establishing discipline and teamwork

The correct answer is: Medical evaluations for personnel

The choice indicating that medical evaluations for personnel is not a primary function of the Navy's Recruit Training Command is accurate. The primary functions of the Recruit Training Command (RTC) focus on transforming recruits into Sailors through various means such as physical training, skills instruction, discipline, and teamwork. Conducting physical fitness assessments helps ensure recruits meet the physical standards necessary for Navy service, while training recruits to become Sailors is the central mission of the RTC. Establishing discipline and teamwork is crucial for fostering a sense of unit cohesion and preparing recruits for the demands of Navy life. Although medical evaluations are important for overall personnel readiness, they are typically conducted in separate facilities or by medical personnel and not a primary responsibility of the RTC. Therefore, this distinguishes the primary roles of RTC from the important but ancillary function of conducting medical evaluations.
