The Ship's Serviceman Rating: New Concepts to Improve Training, Assignment, Performance, and Utilization
Abstract
Skill and knowledge requirements for ship's servicemen are discussed in terms of billets, training, identification, and utilization. Advancement opportunity, retention and rating structure are also considered. Evaluation of the rating is in terms of its primary responsibility to provide services and convenience, mainly to the afloat forces. The responsibilities of the rating require the performance of a variety of non-related jobs, ranging from manual labor to administration, which require varying degrees of physical dexterity and mental ability. Significant factors adversely affecting performance include inadequate numbers of rated personnel, high percentage of personnel in the lower mental groups, deficiencies in training, and lack of skill identification. The foregoing, in turn, affect personnel utilization, personnel development, advancement, and retention.
