AEROGRAPHER'S MATE 3 & 2 



Since you have been in pay grade E-3 or E-4 

 for some time, you realize that more leadership 

 is required of the higher rates. Not only are you 

 required to have superior knowledge, but you 

 are also required to have the ability to handle 

 personnel. This ability increases in importance 

 as you advance through the various rates as 

 a petty officer. 



In General Order No. 21, the Secretary of 

 the Navy outlined some of the most important 

 aspects of naval leadership. By naval leadership 

 is meant the art of accomplishing the Navy's 

 mission through people. It is the sum of those 

 qualities of intellect, of human understanding, 

 and of moral character that enables a person 

 to inspire and to manage a group of people 

 successfully. Effective leadership, therefore, is 

 based on personal example, good management 

 practices, and moral responsibility. The term 

 leadership includes all three of these elements. 



The current Navy Leadership Program is 

 designed to keep the spirit of General Order 

 No. 21 ever before you. If the threefold ob- 

 jective is carried out effectively in every com- 

 mand, the program will make you a better 

 leader of men in your present billet and in your 

 future assignments. As you advance up the 

 ladder of leadership, your worth to the Navy 

 will be judged increasingly on the basis of the 

 amount of efficient work you obtain from your 

 subordinates rather than how much of the actual 

 work you do yourself. 



For information on the practical application 

 of leadership and supervision, study Military 

 Requirements for Petty Officer 3 & 2,

ADVANCEMENT 



Both you and the Navy benefit from your 

 advancement. You get more pay, and your as- 

 signments are more interesting and challenging. 

 You can enjoy getting ahead in the Navy on 

 your own efforts. Highly trained personnel are 

 essential to the functioning of the Navy. By 

 advancement, you increase your value to the 

 Navy in two ways: First, you become more 

 valuable as a technical specialist in your own 

 rating; and second, you become more valuable 

 as a person who can train others, and thus 

 make far-reaching contributions to the entire 

 Navy. 



The advancement system includes those re- 

 quirements that must be met before you may 

 be considered for advancement and those factors 

 that actually determine whether or not you will 

 be advanced. In this part of this chapter in- 

 formation is presented to help you prepare 

 and become qualified for advancement and to 

 inform you of the method used for selecting 

 those who will be advanced. 



BUPERS Notice 1418 will give you informa- 

 tion on advancement examinations. Have your 

 Educational Services Officer or your Training 

 Petty Officer explain parts of these notices you 

 do not understand.

 ment, complete the Personnel Advancement Re-
