AHOY — A Holistic Orientation for Your-Excellence — is a personalized training companion built for enlisted Sailors at every stage of their Navy journey.
Whether you're preparing for Boot Camp, working through A School, or reporting to your first command, AHOY creates a focused study plan tailored to your rating and where you are in the training pipeline. No more digging through thousand-page manuals hoping you're reading the right section. AHOY points you to exactly what you need — specific chapters, articles, and passages — so every minute of study time counts.
HOW IT WORKS
Tell AHOY two things: your rating and your current pipeline stage. That's it. AHOY builds a personalized course of study drawn from official Navy training resources including the Blue Jacket's Manual, Basic Military Requirements (NAVEDTRA 14325), rate training manuals, and Navy COOL credentialing references.
Choose how much time you have — 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or an hour — and AHOY serves up focused study tasks sized to fit your schedule. Sailors don't always have the luxury of long study sessions, and AHOY is designed for the way you actually train: in the gaps between watches, in the barracks before lights out, on your phone during downtime.
LEARN, THEN PROVE IT
When you finish a study task, AHOY tests your knowledge with targeted questions. Score 70% or above and you move forward. Below 70%, AHOY identifies exactly where the gaps are and builds a remedial path focused on what you missed — not a generic review, but laser-focused reinforcement on the specific concepts you need to revisit.
This is how real qualification works. AHOY brings the PQS mindset to your phone.
POLARIS — YOUR TRAINING MENTOR
Need help understanding a concept? Polaris, AHOY's built-in AI training mentor, is available to explain topics in plain language, provide real-world examples from shipboard and shore duty, and point you to the right references. Polaris uses Navy terminology correctly, defines jargon when it first comes up, and maintains the professional standards you'd expect from a Chief — encouraging but never soft on the material.
BUILT FOR SAILORS
AHOY was developed in consultation with active Navy personnel and is designed to support the training needs of new enlisted Sailors across all ratings. The app draws on publicly available Navy training resources and is intended as a study aid to complement — not replace — official Navy training programs.
