conveniences, may result in harm to equipment or personnel. 3. Require your subordinates to use their technical materials, both on the job and to prepare for advance- ment. Observing your responsibilities toward technical materials will not just make you a better professional; it will also demonstrate to your subordinates proper professional and supervisory attitudes. INFORMATION SOURCES AND ADVANCEMENT STUDY BIBLIOGRAPHY You and your subordinates should know which references to consult for detailed, authoritative, current information on all subjects related to both NAVSTDs and FC OCCSTDs. Most of the publications men- tioned here are subject to change or revision from time to time-some at regular intervals, others as the need arises. When using any publication that is kept current by changes, ensure that you have a copy in which all official changes have been entered. Official publications and directives carry abbrevia- tions and numbers that identify the source and the subject matter of each document. For instance, the identification number for this training manual is NAVEDTRA 12409. The term NAVEDTRA refers to a publication that is published by the Chief of Naval Education and Training (CNET). The term NAVPERS refers to a publication that is published by the Chief of Naval Personnel (CHNAVPERS). Some of the NAVEDTRA and NAVPERS publica- tions described here are essential to personnel learning to perform the duties of their rating or seeking ad- vancement. The others, although not essential, are very helpful. (For a complete list of NAVEDTRA TRAMANs, consult the current Catalog of Nonresi- dent Training Courses, NAVEDTRA 12061.) The following subsections include OCCSTD-based publications, NAVSTD-based publications, and gen- eral information publications. These publications and their nonresident training courses are usually required for advancement. OCCSTD-BASED PUBLICATIONS OCCSTD-based publications are rating specific. There are two types: (1) TRAMANs, and (2) advance- ment handbooks. OCCSTD-based TRAMANs OCCSTD-based TRAMANs are written for a specific rating. Most TRAMANs have two purposes: (1) they are written to help personnel perform the duties of their rating, and (2) they may be used to help personnel study for advancement. The following TRAMANs are based on OCCSTDs for the FC rating: Fire Controlman Third Class, NAVEDTRA 10276-1 Fire Controlman Second Class, NAVEDTRA 10277 Fire Controlman First Class, NAVEDTRA 10278 Fire Controlman Chief, NAVEDTRA 10279 Advancement Handbooks The Advancement Handbook for Petty Officers series is published yearly by the Naval Education and Training Program Management Support Activity (NETPMSA), Pensacola, Florida, and should be avail- able from your educational services officer (ESO). This is a very useful set of booklets with informa- tion taken from the Manual of Navy Enlisted Man- power and Personnel Classifications and Occupational Standards, NAVPERS 18068; and the Bibliography for Advancement Study, NAVEDTRA 10052. Each rating has its own booklet that lists requirements specifically for that rating. 1-6
