You don't get to select days you want to train but can protect one group of days (from 1 to 5 days) that you DON'T want to train. To do that, log onto eCrew, then select, "Personnel" from the top then "Training/VTS" on the drop down menu. Then the second bullet is what you're looking for.
What stinks about this is that by the time you get the pop up window that you're in the zone for training, its already too late to protect your first month. In your case, if Feb is your base month, you could go to training Jan - Mar, but you have to put in a golden day request for Jan by NLT Nov 30. UGH.
