Advancement Center will also grade the courses and
provide course completion confirmation. Sailors will
have the ability to grade their assignments instantly by
logging on and entering the answers directly into our
web site, www.courses.cnet.navy.mil. Assignment
answer sheets may also be mailed to the Navy
Advancement Center for grading. However, the Navy
Advancement Center will only accept answer sheets
the student received with the course and for the entire
course at one time.
OCCUPATIONAL STANDARDS AND
NAVAL STANDARDS
Learning Objectives: Identify naval standards and
occupational standards; determine the purpose of each
set of standards.
Volume I of the Manual of Navy Enlisted
Manpower and Personnel Classifications and
Occupational Standards, NAVPERS 18068, fully
describes both occupational standards and naval
standards. Before preparing personnel for
advancement, the ESO should know the difference
between an occupational standard and a naval
standard.
OCCUPATIONAL STANDARDS
Occupational standards (OCCSTDs) are the
minimum skills required for each rating. They form
the foundation for the training, advancement, and
distribution of all Navy enlisted personnel.
OCCSTDs for the lower paygrades cover routine
tasks. OCCSTDs for progressively higher
paygrades cover more difficult tasks and tasks
requiring additional experience or involving
supervision. However, proper authority may call
upon personnel of any rating or rate to perform any
task or duty, depending upon the circumstances of
the local command. OCCSTDs do not restrict or
limit the use of personnel or set limitations as to what
rating should perform any given duty.
NAVAL STANDARDS
Naval standards (NAVSTDs) are the minimum
non-rating-specific skill and knowledge requirements
for enlisted personnel in paygrades E-2 through E-9.
For example, all first class petty officers must know
how to write performance evaluations. Naval
standards together with occupational standards form
the basis for implementing and supporting actions for
enlisted manning, distribution, recruit training,
military requirement training, and advancement. They
also express requirements for skill or knowledge and
abilities those individuals must be proficient in, even
though their present duty assignment may not require
the use of that skill or knowledge. Enlisted personnel
are required to demonstrate the capability to perform a
skill or their attainment of knowledge described by a
naval standard as part of their advancement process.
Naval standards also cover essential virtues of pride of
service in support of the oath of enlistment. All of
these standards directly contribute to the mission of the
Navy.
Q8. Occupational standards and naval standards are
fully described in what volume of NAVPERS
18068?
PUBLICATIONS USED TO PREPARE
ENLISTED PERSONNEL FOR
ADVANCEMENT
Learning Objectives:
Identify the role the
Bibliography (BIB) for Advancement-In-Rate Exam
Study and the Advancement Handbooks play in the
Navy advancement system and how to obtain them;
identify Personnel Qualification Standards (PQS) and
the roles they play in training; identify the Petty Officer
Indoctrination Course (POIC) and the Chief Petty
Officer Indoctrination Course (CPOIC); and explain
the course-ordering procedures.
The ESO should have all of the publications
needed to assist personnel in their advancement. We
will discuss the most important publications in the
following paragraphs.
BIBLIOGRAPHY FOR ADVANCEMENT-
IN-RATE EXAM STUDY
The Bibliography (BIB) for Advancement-In-Rate
Study is the basic reference for all rates and ratings.
BIBs are developed by the exam writer (a chief petty
officer) to help Sailors study for the
advancement-in-rate examination. BIBs are a list of
references that include training courses (NRTCs),
instructions, technical manuals, guides, and other
publications commonly used in a rating. BIBs for all
ratings will be available ONLY IN ELECTRONIC
FORMAT and will be posted (issued) THREE times a
year. The E4/E5/E6 BIBs will be posted in March and
September and the E7 is posted in July.
