Advancement Handbook for Aerographer's Mate
The purpose of the Advancement Handbook is to help you focus your preparation for Navywide advancement-in-rating examinations. The bibliographies (BIBs) together with this handbook form a comprehensive examination study package. Since this handbook provides skill and knowledge components for each paygrade of the Aerographer's Mate (AG) rating, it helps you concentrate your study on those areas that may be tested. This feature will help you get the most out of your study time.
Each page in Parts 1 through 4 of this Advancement Handbook presents general skill areas, specific skill areas, the knowledge factors associated with each skill area, the pertinent References that address each skill, and the subject areas that may be covered on the examination. The skill statements describe the skills you are expected to perform for each paygrade. The skill statements are cumulative; that is, you are responsible for the skills for the paygrade you are competing for, your present paygrade, and all paygrades below.
Although this handbook is very comprehensive, it cannot cover all the tasks performed in the rating. As a result, the advancement examinations may contain questions more detailed than described in the “Exam Expectations” Section of the skill areas.
