If using 3 × 5 cards, sort them by frequency of the report and arrange in chronological order. Then file these cards in a 3 × 5 file box or drawer in the exact chronological order in which they become due. If desired, use tabbed dividers to divide the file into monthly segments. Arrange cards so that they will reach the front of the file a certain number of days before the report is due out. Check the tickler file daily. As reports are completed and months pass, place the cards and dividers toward the rear of the box or file. Q24. What tool does the maintenance administration division use to track recurring report requirements? TRAINING LEARNING OBJECTIVE: Identify Navy training programs. Training is a continuing evolution that began with your initial enlistment and will continue throughout your naval career. Training is accomplished in many different formats. Regardless of the training format used, training should be performed in a sequential manner. Initial training consists of basic, prerequisite information that should lay the groundwork for future, more complex training. For example, the training you received in AZ “A” school centered on basic knowledge and skills that were required for entry-level job performance. The training you received on aircraft logbooks was designed to serve as an introductory tool to familiarize you with aircraft and equipment record keeping procedures. The intent of the training was to enable you to perform basic functions, such as making logbook entries and extracting information. The initial training on aircraft logbooks is not designed nor is it capable of teaching you everything you need to know about aircraft logbooks. Maintenance training is critical to the overall readiness of the Naval Establishment. How well you do your job is directly related to the type and quality of training you have received. As such, training will make up a significant portion of your work week. Training is generally a command responsibility, but some types of training should be performed on your own. Below are some training terms that you should become familiar with. On-the-job-training (OJT). OJT is training that is received during actual performance of a daily maintenance task, and under the supervision of experienced personnel. The fundamental reasoning behind OJT is learning by doing. OJT may be scheduled or unscheduled. Formal Training. Formal training uses lectures and lesson guides and may be supplemented by visual aids. Formal training is usually scheduled. Computer-Based Training (CBT) and Interactive Multimedia Instruction (IMI). CPT and IMI are terms that are used to describe training delivered electronically by using computers. Some CBT and IMI programs allow student-computer interaction. “A” and “C” Schools. “A” schools provide the basic job entry-level knowledge and skills. “C” schools provide more advanced training than do “A” schools. Upon completion of some “C” schools, a Navy Enlisted Classification (NEC) code may be awarded. NECs are awarded when a certain level of proficiency is demonstrated in a particular job. Proficiency in the performance of the job trained for is usually a requirement for the awarding of NECs. For example, there currently are three NECs that apply to the AZ rating as follows: 6301—Enhanced Comprehensive Asset Man- agement System (ECAMS) for naval air main- tenance training groups (NAMTRAGRUs) 6314—Naval Aviation Logistics Command Management Information System (NAL- COMIS) Data Base Administrator/Analyst for I Level. 6315—NALCOMIS Systems Administrator/ Analyst for I Level Fleet aviation specialized operational training groups (FASOTRAGRUs) provide advanced operational and tactical training on specific weapons systems and in aviation maintenance administration and management. NAMTRAGRUs provide advanced training in the repair, operation, and maintenance of weapons systems and in maintenance administration and management. Q25. What type of training is conducted during the actual performance of maintenance task? SUMMARY Before you start to work in the maintenance administration division, you should know the names and rates or rank of everyone in the office. 2-23
