training immediately following morning quarters
or after the noon meal. All GMT should be given
at a time when experienced personnel will be
available to give the necessary training. GMT will
at times require persons from outside your
division.
ENTER ALL TRAINING IN EACH
MEMBERS TRAINING RECORD
Another very important part of a TPOs job
is to enter the training lecture in each members
training record. The TPO should be the only
person making entries in the training records.
Figure 4-7 illustrates an individual training record
form that is used in each members training record
to document training.
PRESENTING PERSONNEL FOR
QUARTERS, INSPECTIONS, AND
CEREMONIES
As LPO, you may be required to form
your division for inspections, command cere-
monies, and at morning quarters. You should
know the proper procedures and commands
to form your division. You may also need
to march the division from one place to
another.
You probably remember most of the drilling
movements from boot camp. However, as a
refresher you should review close-order drill in
Military Requirements for Petty Officer Third
Class, NAVEDTRA 12044.
QUARTERS
Depending upon the type of ship and its
operating schedule, quarters for muster and
inspection are held each workday before 0800.
Regular divisional quarters may be held for the
following occasions:
Fair weather parade
Foul weather parade
Personnel inspections
Mustering on station
The following procedures are followed for
divisional quarters.
Fair Weather Parade
The boatswains mate of the watch announces
over the 1MC, ALL HANDS TO QUARTERS
FOR MUSTER, INSTRUCTION, AND INSPEC-
TION. All hands then fall in ranks at attention.
As the division LPO, you should conduct an
immediate muster, fill out the muster report, and
have it delivered to the division officer before
officers call. During the time the division officer
is attending officers call, you can read the plan
of the day. Upon return of the division officer,
call the division to attention for instruction and
inspection. Divisions are inspected daily by the
division officer, department head, or executive
officer. On completion of quarters, the division
officer commands, Division, LEAVE YOUR
QUARTERS. All hands then salute and leave
quarters.
Foul Weather Parade
The procedures prescribed above are the same
for foul weather parade, except that a protected
area is designated for quarters.
Personnel Inspections
The procedure for personnel inspections is the
same as for regular divisional quarters at fair or
foul weather parade.
General Assembly
QUARTERS FOR ASSEMBLY is ordered
when the crew is addressed as a unit. The crew
is paraded following unit instructions. The crew
should be called to attention at the approach and
departure of the captain.
Locker and Seabag Inspection
As the division LPO, you maybe required to
conduct locker and seabag inspections for the
division officer. U.S. Navy Uniform Regulations
states:
Commanding officers shall require the
clothing of all nonrated personnel to be
inspected by division officers at regular
intervals to ensure that each person
possesses his prescribed outfit. Clothing of
petty officers may be inspected on an
individual basis, if appropriate.
