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
