NAVTECHTRAU KEESLER AFB, MS
Schoolhouse Facts • 4 Calibration Schools • GPETE Calibration (GCAMS) • Basic Physical & Dimensional (B & D) • Advanced Electronic Calibration (ACTS) • Precision Physical & Dimensional (Phys-D)
GCAMS/B & D • Provides “A” Level training to operate, calibrate, analyze, troubleshoot, and repair General Purpose Electronic Test Equipment (GPETE).
GCAMS/B & D • Update/Status • GCAMS Curriculum Stable • Electronic Classroom • Flow added to B&D
GCAMS/B & D • Issues • ETs do not attend B&D • Deckplate feedback indicates inefficient human resource management at afloat AIMDs, Tenders and Regional Calibration Labs. • SIMAs (ETs) doing Physical Calibration • Phased Replacement of “Non-Standards” • No clear ownership/budget for: ‘scopes, meters, signal-gens, etc...
Advanced Calibration • Provides “C” Level training in advanced electronic calibration concepts including theory, application and operation of test equipment and standards
Advanced Calibration • Update/Status • Electronic Classrooms • Updated from last MTRR • SR 760, 9500, Lab. Ops., Waveguide to Coax • Issues • No ETs attending since CY 2000 • Journeyman Level Calibrator School
Precision Phys-D • Provides “C” Level training in principals, methodology and calibration to perform as AdvCal Tech in the Phys, Mech., & Dimensional areas of Navy Calibration.
Precision Phys-D • Update/Status • Now validating a complete course rewrite • NAVSEA Standards are 60% of Joint Service (Consolidated) portion of course
Precision Phys-D • Update/Status • Now validating a complete course rewrite • NAVSEA Standards are 60% of Joint Service (Consolidated) portion of course.
Precision Phys-D • Issues • Under-utilization • No Navy review in over 6 years • No ETs attend, EMs untrained/inexperienced • No identifiable means for the procurement of new standards (should be automatic).
Recommendations • Study needs for Physical/Dimensional training for ETs • Study ET Calibrator Career Path (a.k.a. TFE Professional Development Vector) • Should some/all ETs attend B&D? • Should occasional ET attend Advanced Cal/Precision Phys-D?
Recommendations • Convene Precision Phys-D “Stakeholder’s Workshop” similar to SWTRR reviewing utilization • Stakeholders work with CNET to establish clear ownership of non-standards gear Phased Replacement • Encourage emerging Executive Agent to address training specifically.
