Narrative:
XXX was on a vector (230 degrees) descending to 6000 ft. Xxy off nse, was VFR sbound. LOA calls for sbound T34's off whiting to level at 4500 ft until instructed to climb higher by ATC. Xxy never checked on frequency, but climbed out of 4500 ft. XXX got a TCASII alert and climbed. I called xxy who was sitting on the frequency and told them to level at 5500 ft. Xxy had climbed out of 4500 ft without a clearance. Corrective actions: training aircraft (navy) need to understand the importance of following LOA's/SOP's and comply with them. Additionally, they need to place more emphasis on establishing and maintaining radio communications with ATC.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: NSE NAVY TRAINING JET CLBS ABOVE VFR LOA TRANSITION ALT AND CONFLICTS WITH AN ACR ON APCH TO PNS.
Narrative: XXX WAS ON A VECTOR (230 DEGS) DSNDING TO 6000 FT. XXY OFF NSE, WAS VFR SBOUND. LOA CALLS FOR SBOUND T34'S OFF WHITING TO LEVEL AT 4500 FT UNTIL INSTRUCTED TO CLB HIGHER BY ATC. XXY NEVER CHKED ON FREQ, BUT CLBED OUT OF 4500 FT. XXX GOT A TCASII ALERT AND CLBED. I CALLED XXY WHO WAS SITTING ON THE FREQ AND TOLD THEM TO LEVEL AT 5500 FT. XXY HAD CLBED OUT OF 4500 FT WITHOUT A CLRNC. CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: TRAINING ACFT (NAVY) NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF FOLLOWING LOA'S/SOP'S AND COMPLY WITH THEM. ADDITIONALLY, THEY NEED TO PLACE MORE EMPHASIS ON ESTABLISHING AND MAINTAINING RADIO COMS WITH ATC.
