Training Missions are small, return-on-same-day events. These missions are meant to train OCESS members, both new and old, how to conduct a space Mission, as well as offer new members a chance to experience a mission first hand. They occur at 440 Albert Street,primarily on Friday nights in the place of a normal Work Session.
Training Missions also allow members to take on roles to which they are not accustomed. For example, a member who is usually an Astronaut might stay in Mission Control instead, or a member might be able to play the part of a Simulator for the first time. However, once the roles for the Main Mission have been decided upon, members primarily practice for their actual roles.
Spacesim members will commonly confuse Training Missions with Mini-Missions, the difference being that the former consists entirely of Spacesim mebers while the latter consists entirely of non-Spacesim members.
Outdated Procedures
Although training missions have in the past been much more loose and informal than real missions, so as to give new members a chance to experience Sim Culture, the Golden Rule and proper CAPCOM procedure are always followed. This allows for optimal training of new recruits who can experience Sim Culture during ordinary Work Sessions.
Previously, Training Missions were considerd "Gamma", and were openly acknowlaged as simulations, unlike "Beta" missions which were considered real-life missions, but current procedure is to consider them Beta.
The number of Training Missions per year has been raied from 2-3 to 9 or 10. Before the Main Mission these are to train new members, but at the end of the year they are primarily to let off steam, such as a revenge mission or terrorist mission.
