Inaddition, enlisted personnel are required to take militarytraining correspondence courses to qualify foradvancement. Most military training offered on boardship is refresher training because even experiencednaval personnel may need to be reminded of theirmilitary duties. Military training may be offered in anumber of ways, such as in formal classes, at morningquarters, and as excerpts in the ship’s plan of the day.Professional TrainingThere are four basic sources of professionaltraining: (1) civilian institutions, such as technicalschools, colleges, and universities; (2) Navy schools; (3)correspondence courses; and (4) operational training.We’ll discuss each of these in the following paragraphs,but we’ll give more attention to operational trainingsince it is the only ongoing training aboard ship and thetraining most directly related to performance.CIVILIAN INSTITUTIONS.– Officers and seniorpetty officers should counsel personnel on the need totake courses in local education and training institutionswhen they are on shore duty. and through the CampusAfloat program, where many larger ships have civilianinstructors on board who hold colleges classes duringoff-duty hours. These studies improve knowledge andskill, help the chances for advancement, and helpprepare for civilian life.NAVY SCHOOLS.– Officers and senior pettyofficers should counsel personnel to apply for Navyschools that will help them advance. This is especiallytrue where a Navy school is not in the training path fora rating and where younger personnel may not knowabout specialized schools available to them. An exampleis a school to qualify for a Navy enlisted classification(NEC) specialty within the rating.CORRESPONDENCE COURSES.– Corres-pondence courses are the most easily accessible of alltraining courses. They offer the greatest variety ofmilitary and professional development courses forofficers and enlisted personnel. BUPERSINST 1430.16sets mandatory requirements for enlisted advancementthat include certain correspondence courses in militaryand professional training. Those are listed inBibliography for Advancement Study, NAVEDTRA12052. Figure 3-3 shows a record of courses taken foradvancement. It maybe useful as a way to keep up withthose who have completed the necessary courses.Many other correspondence courses are availableboth from the Navy and from other branches of thearmed services. Use the List of Training Manuals andCorrespondence Courses, NAVEDTRA 12061, toreview the offerings and to order courses. See the ESOfor sources and applications.Operational TrainingEach division should plan an operational trainingprogram based on qualifications for advancement. Itshould qualify personnel to do the jobs in their ratingsas well as the military and general ship-related jobs andprepare them to advance in rate. As part of thequalification process, it should prepare them tocomplete Personnel Advancement Requirements (PAR)and Personnel Qualification Standards (PQS), whichwe’ll discuss in more detail later in the chapter. Thedivision officer is primarily responsible for operationaltraining, but the division training officer (if the divisionhas one) implements it.Senior personnel should keep up with theirsubordinates’ training and qualifications so they canadjust training to meet needs and provide theirsupervisors with the current training status of allpersonnel. The division officer needs a continuing flowof information on training and qualifications. With thatinformation, he can keep accurate records to adjust thedivision training program as necessary and torecommend personnel for advancement.Operational training may be defined as theapplication phase of professional training. Trainees getoperational training mostly by study, by on-the-jobtraining and demonstration, and by drills while theystand watch (or battle) stations. Such training developsindividual and team efficiency, familiarizes allpersonnel with minimum operational requirements inthe ship, and qualifies replacements for personnel atcondition watch stations.
