. This rate training manual is NOT designed
to give you information on the military require-
ments for advancement to PO1 or CPO. For this
type of information, you should consult Military
Requirements for Petty Officer Third Class
through Chief Petty Officer and Basic Military
Requirements.
l This manual is NOT designed to give you
information that is related primarily to the
qualifications for advancement to SH3 or SH2;
however, many of those qualifications are re-
viewed or examined from the supervisory level.
For detailed information pertaining to advance-
ment to SH3 and SH2, you should consult the
military requirements manuals and Ship’s Ser-
viceman 3 & 2, modules 1 and 2.
. Although this manual is based upon infor-
mation that is related to the qualifications for
advancement to SH1 and SHC, no training
manual can really take the place of actual on-the-
job experience. This manual can help you under-
stand some of the whys and wherefores, but you
must combine knowledge with practical ex-
perience before you can develop the required
skills. It is important for you to obtain the cur-
rent Personnel Advancement Requirement (PAR)
Program (NAVPERS 1414) applicable to the
Ship’s Serviceman rating. In studying for ad-
vancement, you should use the PAR information
in conjunction with the material in this manual.
. This rate training manual is NOT
specifically designed to provide you with a listing
of all the required and recommended materials
and references that you should use to prepare for
advancement in the Ship’s Serviceman rating. For
this important information, you should consult
the current edition of the Bibliography for Ad-
vancement Study, NAVEDTRA 10052.
. The occupational Ship’s Serviceman
qualifications that were used as a guide in the
preparation of this manual were those issued
in the Manual of Navy Enlisted Manpower and
Personnel Classifications and Occupational
Standards, NAVPERS 18068E. Therefore,
changes in the Ship’s Serviceman qualifications
occurring after this change may not be re-
flected in the information given in this manual.
Your major purpose in studying this manual is
to help you satisfy the qualifications for advance-
ment to SH1 or SHC. However, it is also impor-
tant that you obtain and become familiar with the
most recent Ship’s Serviceman occupational
standards.
You should always make it your responsibility
to see that you are using the latest edition of any
publication or directive from which you are
seeking information. From time to time, most
publications are subject to change or revision,
sometimes at regular intervals, other times when
the need arises. When you are consulting a
publication that is kept current by changes, you
should make certain that you are using a copy in
which all official changes have been made. If a
publication is subject to revision, you should
check to see if you are using the most recent
revision or edition. Official publications and
directives carry identifying abbreviations,
numbers, and, at times, letter designations that
give the source of the document, its subject
matter, and its edition. For example, the iden-
tification code for this rate training manual is
NAVEDTRA 10287-F. The letter F designates the
edition and indicates that this manual replaces
NAVEDTRA 10287-E. The code NAVEDTRA
10287 indicates that this is a publication of Naval
Education and Training in the rate training
manual series. When publications and directives
are mentioned throughout this book, the final let-
ter designations will generally not be given. These
omissions are deliberate and have been made to
accommodate future revisions of referenced
publications.
