'''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 [[Ottawa Tech]], 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 a Training Mission with a [[Mini-mission]], the difference being that the former consists entirely of Spacesim members while the latter consists primarily 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==Outdated Procedures==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 any ordinary [[Work Session]].
+
 
+
Previously, Training Missions were considered [[Gamma]] and were openly acknowledged as simulations, unlike "[[Beta]]" missions which were considered real-life missions, but [[current]] [[Training Mission Procedures|procedure]] allows for them to be considered [[Beta]].
+
 
+
The number of Training Missions per year has been raised 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|terrorist mission]]. Missions of this variety still allow members to practice in various roles and with the software, but comical endings are more fun and allow the [[Admiral]] to end a mission in a timely fashion.
