Within a supply division, the AK1 may be assigned
as the training petty officer (TPO). The TPO is the
backbone of all division personnel qualification
programs. The AKC is responsible for planning and
directing personnel training and training junior officers
in the division.
TYPES OF TRAINING
Training is conducted in Navy training schools or
as on-the-job training at the command. Navy training
schools include the AK Class A school and other related
Class C schools. The AK Class A school provides the
basic technical knowledge and skills required to prepare
an individual for job entry level performance. The Fleet
Aviation Specialized Operational Training Group
(FASOTRAGRU) is under the direction of aircraft
controlling custodian/type commander (ACC/
TYCOM). The FASOTRAGRU provides training to
fleet personnel in courses covering aviation
maintenance administration and management. Other
schools include the advanced AK C school and specific
training courses. An example of a specific training
course is the Shipboard Uniform Automated Data
Recessing System (SUADPS).
The command provides in-service training to
assigned personnel. The formal in-service training is
conducted through lectures supported by visual aids and
required reading material. The schedule of training
should be published listing the lecture, time, location,
attendees, subjects, and instructors.

Question and answer period
Informal training is referred to as on-the-job
training (OJT), and is used to teach a specific job or part
of a job to one or more individuals. In this type of
training, experienced AKs should be assigned to instruct
and demonstrate their skills to the less experienced. The
training provided can be monitored by the effective use
of a training syllabus. Another form of informal training
is self-study. The Navy goes to a great deal of time and
expense in developing training manuals and nonresident
training courses for use by individuals in a self-study
program. You, as the senior AK, should encourage
subordinates to enroll in these courses to increase their
supply background knowledge and permit them to
improve their performance in their assigned functions.

In a formal training command, this phase would be
called curriculum development and several senior petty
