Data were collected from all available sources to determine what the training requirements would be for an individual enlisted sailor at Fleet Readiness Center (FRC) Mid-Atlantic. This called for collecting data from FRC Mid-Atlantic and from sources available at the Naval Postgraduate School. FRC Mid-Atlantic provided data on qualifications, licenses, and medical training required by all rates within the command. This research was conducted on training requirements data for nine individual ratings: Aviation Boatswains Mate-Aircraft handling (ABH), Aviation Machinist Mate (AD), Aviation Electricians Mate (AE), Aviation Structural Mechanic (AM), Aviation Ordnanceman (AO), Aviation Support Equipment Technician (AS), Aviation Electronics Technician (AT), Aviation Maintenance Administrationman (AZ), and Logistics Specialist (LS). The data were received in their raw form. The time to complete each requirement was converted from months or weeks into hours per year. The author assumed that each individual had an average of 19 days per month to be trained, and that the training would last 8 hours per day. The training was divided into four categories: Navy-wide, Qualifications, Licenses, and Medical. Results showed that Navy-wide training and medical training consume the least amount of time, and that three specific rates are required to do more training than the other rates at the command. In particular, the Aviation Support Equipment Technician (AS) is required to complete over 36,000 hours of combined training. This amount of training is of great concern to the command's leadership, since an individual only has a little over 1,800 hours in a given year to complete his/her assigned training. |
