PART D, CHAPTER 5, SECTION 2

D-5202. FOREWORD

A petty officer is a man-of-war's-man who is first, a leader, and second, a specialist. Before being advanced to a petty officer rating, a man must possess the fundamental knowledge required of all men in the Navy (See D-5203), must be found qualified in the General Qualifications required of all petty officers, and must meet the technical qualifications for a particular rating.

Most of the General Qualifications, set forth in D-5204, are best determined by observation of the candidate in situations that require a demonstration of his knowledge, skills, and abilities. Such observation is preferred to formal examination and should be used when circumstances permit. The scope of the subject matter to be covered under D-5203 and D-5204, respectively, is outlined in the General Training Course for Non-Rated Men, the General Training Courses for Petty Officers, and related training materials. These courses and materials are revised from time to time.

The technical qualifications, set forth in subsequent articles of this section, are prescribed as a standard for each grade in the various ratings. These qualifications are indicated as PRACTICAL FACTORS, EXAMINATION SUBJECTS, and SCHOOL QUALIFICATIONS, and must be met by each person prior to advancement to the grade concerned. (See D-5104 ff and current circular letters concerning advancement in rating.) The scope of the subject matter to be covered is outlined in the training course for the particular rating and in the technical pamphlets and materials issued by the various bureaus and offices.

A candidate for promotion to a higher grade in any rating is also responsible for the technical qualifications prescribed for lower grades of that rating. As a reminder of this requirement, subparagraphs in the qualifications for each rating grade refer back to the qualifications for the lower grade of the rating. In addition to having qualified in the practical factors for the higher grade, the candidate must have demonstrated more thoroughness, greater expertness, and a higher degree of skill in the practical factors for the lower grade. In addition to qualifying in the examination subjects for the higher grade, he must also show a more detailed and thorough knowledge in examination subjects carefully selected from the qualifications for the lower grade.

D-5203. FUNDAMENTAL KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED OF ALL MEN IN THE NAVY.
