and maintaining proper standards. Before making any
person responsible for a task, you should be sure he or
she knows how to perform it correctly. Training takes
time and patience, but it pays off and failure to train can
be costly.
On-the-job training is used primarily for teaching
skills, and may be the best method for teaching complex
operations. It is usually accomplished under informal
conditions and with small groups. In BQ training
situations, it should take place where the job is actually
performed.
Ideally, on-the-job training should be preceded by
more formal classroom training to give the trainee a
thorough grounding in the subject matters. Lectures or
lecture-demonstrations may be used to familiarize the
trainee with the basic operations and to develop the
proper trainee attitudes. If the preliminary training is
adequate, the on-the-job training can progress quickly
to more advanced skills. In-depth training requirements
are identified in NAVPERS 15606.

BACHELOR QUARTERS MANAGEMENT
ASSISTANCE and INSPECTION TEAM
The CNO has established the MAIT, located in
Washington, DC. This team consists of highly qualified
senior MS personnel who are specially trained to help
commands improve BQ management so that living
conditions may be improved and operational costs
reduced. The team will inspect each command
approximately every 3 years.
The team will normally conduct the inspection in
the following manner:
. Introduction—the team meets the CO, BQ
officer, and staff.
. Inspection-the team examines every facet of
the quarters operation including living areas, front desk,
supply operation, and the relationship with other
command departments.
l Training—as time permits, the team provides
training to the quarters staff tailored to the command’s
needs.
l Point-by-point brief—the BQ officer is briefed
in detail on the team’s findings during the inspection.
l Exit brief—the CO is briefed on the highlights of
the team’s findings and recommendations, plus the
training conducted.
These procedures may be changed to meet local
conditions, but the team will always strive to conduct
the visit with the smallest possible disturbance to the
command’s routine.
BUPERS will provide a written report of the
findings and recommendations of the MAIT to the host
command via the major claimant. The host command
will advise PERS-671 in writing of actions taken on the
recommendations and keep copies of the
recommendations and actions taken. They also will
