The Master, at their discretion, may make the determination of the suitability for a Mariner to receive a SRF and SWS-A training extension but at a minimum must adhere to the following criteria:

- Upon arrival to an OCONUS vessel the Mariner must have 60-days remaining on their SRF and SWS-A training requirements.

- No SRF or SWS-A qualification may be extended more than 12 months beyond the current qualification expiration date.

- In the event the Mariner departs the ship in excess of 30 days or returns to CONUS, the extension will be considered expired and the Mariner must attend schoolhouse training to receive the requisite training.

G-3.14 Drills, General:

The drills required by federal law and international agreements in accordance with 46 CFR 199-180, and drills required by MSC shall be performed in a safe, practical and reasonable manner to simulate as closely as possible that an actual emergency exists. The crew’s participation and performance during the drills should be critiqued after each drill in order to (a) validate preparatory training that has been conducted on board ship; and (b) validate the ship’s emergency bills and procedures. Drill periodicities cited are minimums and do not preclude the conduct of drills more frequently in order to ensure the readiness posture of the ship to meet emergency situations.
