CHAPTER 14 TECHNICAL ADMINISTRATION AND SUPERVISION The higher you ascend on the enlisted rating ladder, the more valuable you become to the Navy. This is understandable  since  you  have  more  experience  in  your rating, have probably attended several Navy schools, and your attitudes are well-oriented to Navy life. In a sense, you are now in a position and better qualified to impart  your  knowledge  and  experience  to  the  personnel serving   under   you.   Your   bearing,   actions,   and disposition  will  be  under  scrutiny  not  only  by  your seniors but also by your subordinates. As a supervising EA1, your job is a many-sided task.  It  involves  the  procurement  of  necessary equipment,  repair  parts,  and  other  materials;  planning, scheduling,   and   directing   work   assignments; maintaining   an   adequate   file   of   appropriate publications;  interpreting  and  complying  with  current directives;  collecting  engineering  data;  making  progress reports;  carrying  on  a  comprehensive  and  effective training program; interviewing subordinates, using the Personnel   Readiness   Capability   Program   (PRCP) guidelines;  and  drafting  official  correspondence. This  chapter  discusses  many  of  the  duties  and responsibilities  of  the  EA1  supervisor.  These discussions center on those topics that, for the most part, are considered to be unique to the Engineering Aid rating;  in  other  words,  those  administrative  and supervisory topics related specifically  to supervising the engineering division and assisting the management division of the operations department in a Naval Mobile Construction Battalion. Obviously, there are many other subjects that relate to the Navy or the Seabees, in general, that you must also  be  thoroughly  familiar  with  to  be  an  effective supervisor. Those topics, such as leadership principles, principles    of    administration,    correspondence procedures, and so forth, can be found in the Navy’s military  requirements  books  that  are  required  study  for advancement in rating. General topics related to the Seabees as a whole, such as the PRCP program, are covered  in  the  NCF/Seabee  PO1  training   manual (TRAMAN). Some other topics that you should become familiar   with,   such   as   facilities   maintenance management,  project  site  approval  requirements,  and special project and military construction (MILCON) project submittal procedures, are also not discussed in this  TRAMAN;  however,  a  listing  of  reference  sources concerning  these  and  other  topics  is  contained  in appendix  IV  of  this  TRAMAN. By  now,  you  should  be  very  familiar  with  the organization of a Seabee construction battalion and with  the  battalion’s  operations  department.  Therefore, we will begin our discussion of your responsibilities by first discussing the management division and the ways  in  which  you  will  be  expected  to  assist  the management  division.  Then  we  will  discuss  your duties  and  responsibilities  as  they  relate  to  super- vising  the  engineering  division  of  the  operations department. MANAGEMENT  DIVISION The  management  division  of  the  operations department may be headed by the assistant operations officer or by the operations chief, acting in an advisory capacity to the operations officer and the operations staff.  This  division  is  sometimes  referred  to  as  the administrative  division  of  the  operations  department. The management division is normally staffed by the operations Yeoman and the timekeeper. Sometimes these positions are filled by EAs. The management division collects, compiles, and analyzes all information related to the construction operations. This information is used in the preparation of   construction   operations   reports,   including   the Deployment  Completion  Report,  Monthly  Situation Report,  and  any  other  special  reports  required  by higher  authority.  The  engineering  division  will  be required to assist in the preparation of these reports by   supplying   technical   information   concerning construction projects. Some reports may be compiled from  existing  records;  others  may  require  special investigation  and  research. 14-1
