Chapter 1 — AEROGRAPHER'S MATE RATING 



two probably correct answers. Then you can 

 spend the remaining time considering the ques- 

 tions about which you have the least knowledge 

 and checking the questions and answers you 

 have already completed. When the allotted time 

 has passed, the proctor will collect the ex- 

 amination booklets and the answer sheets. 



SUBJECT-MATTER SECTION 

 IDENTIFICATION SHEET 



The Subject-Matter Section Identification 

 Sheet (fig. 1-3) is a tear-out sheet included in 

 your Navy-wide advancement examination book- 

 let. It is to be detached from the examination 

 booklet upon completion of the examination and 

 given to the exam proctor. This sheet indicates 

 the subject-matter sections of the examination 

 which represent the occupational requirements 

 for the rate. The occupational standards used 

 to support the examination questions are also 

 indicated for each subject-matter section. This 

 sheet will be retained by the Educational Ser- 

 vices Officer (ESO) for purposes of command 

 review upon receipt of the Profile Analysis 

 Form. Both of these forms will be made avail- 

 able to you for your review at a date sub- 

 sequent to the date of examination. 



PROFILE ANALYSIS FORM 



The Profile Analysis Form (fig. 1-4) is 

 provided to all candidates two or three months 

 after competing in the Navy-wide advancement 

 examination. Normally, this form will be made 

 available to you by your ESO with the Sub- 

 ject-Matter Section Identification Sheet, pre- 

 viously discussed. The Profile Analysis Form 

 is to be used in conjunction with the Subject- 

 Matter Section Identification Sheet to indicate 

 your strengths and weaknesses for the particu- 

 lar examination in which you competed. 



The Profile Analysis Form (refer to fig. 

 1-4) indicates the candidate's relative standing 

 in Section 1 of the examination as being "A" 

 (Average-middle). Section 1, as indicated on the 

 Subject-Matter Section Identification Sheet, dealt 

 with questions relating to "Surface Observa- 

 tions." You can, therefore, conclude that your 

 standing was average, in comparison with the 

 rest of the candidates, for Section 1 of the 

 examination, "Surface Observations". The oc- 

 cupational standards used to support the ques- 

 tions on "Surface Observations" were C1.01 

 and C2.01. The same procedure should be 



followed for the remaining sections of the ex- 

 amination. 



By the use of these two forms you will be 

 able to determine those areas where additional 

 study could assist you in future examinations. 



SOURCES OF INFORMATION 



One of the most useful things you can learn 

 about a subject is how to find out more about 

 it. No single publication can give you all the 

 information you need to perform the duties of 

 your rating. You should learn where to look 

 for accurate, authoritative, up-to-date informa- 

 tion on all subjects related to the military re- 

 quirements for advancement and the professional 

 standards of your rating. 



Some of the publications described in this 

 manual are subject to change or revision from 

 time to time— some at regular intervals, others 

 as the need arises. When using any publica- 

 tion that is subject to change or revision be 

 sure that you have the latest edition. When 

 using any publication that is kept current by 

 means of changes, be sure you have a copy 

 in which all official changes have been made. 

 Studying canceled or obsolete information will 

 not help you perform efficiently or to advance; 

 it is likely to be a waste of time, and may 

 even be seriously misleading. 



TRAINING FILMS 



Training films available to naval personnel 

 are a valuable source of supplementary in- 

 formation on many technical subjects. Train- 

 ing films are listed in the United States Navy 

 Film Catalog, NAVAIR 10-1-777 (formerly 

 NAVWEPS 10-1-777), published in 1969. Copies 

 of this catalog may be ordered in accordance 

 with the Navy Stock List of Forms and Publi- 

 cations, NAVSUP 2002. Monthly supplements 

 to the Film Catalog are distributed to catalog 

 holders. Check with your Training Petty Officer 

 for the location of the nearest Film Catalog. 



When selecting a film, note its date of issue 

 listed in the Film Catalog. As you know, pro- 

 cedures sometimes change rapidly; thus, some 

 films become obsolete rapidly. If a film is 

 obsolete only in part, it may still be of some 

 use.
