FOREWORD

The Personnel Readiness Capability Program (PRCP) provides all levels of manage-ment in the Naval Construction Force with timely personnel information which will increase management’s capabilities in planning, decision making, and control. The PRCP is an integrated system that identifies the required occupational skills; provides means for determining qualified personnel; and correlates formal training programs and skills. The effectiveness of the system depends on the continued efforts of the individual units to update this information.

This Manual (P-458) has been divided into three volumes to facilitate use by staff personnel and PR C P interviewers. Volume I contains standard skill definitions applicable to the Naval Construction Force. Volume II, the Standards and Guides, consists of seven separate manuals, one for each Seabee rating. It is the interviewer’s principal tool in collecting and updating skill data. Volume III contains the systems documentation.

COMCBPAC/COMCBLANT/COMRNCF Instruction 1500.2OF identifies and defines the skills required to meet peacetime and contingency missions, and specifies the required number of personnel that should be trained in each skill. Recognizing that actual performance is the best determining factor in judging a person’s qualification, this is not always possible or practicable in the Seabees. Therefore, an integral part of the PRCP is the Standards and Guides by which a person’s qualifications are determined through an interview. Standardization is an important element in this system and adherence to the Standards and Guides cannot be overemphasized. Further, the interviews should be conducted by personnel competent in the skills of their rating.

As each skill will not be used during every deployment, a system of Special Construction Battalion Training courses has been developed by the the Chief of Naval Technical Training. These provide the opportunity to actually perform the skill under controlled conditions. Therefore, successful completion of these courses warrants assigning the appropriate skill level.

Recommendation from individual commands for establishment, deletion, or changes to PRCP skills have been a major source for enhancement of PRCP and are encouraged.

Request for inclusion on the automatic distribution list or revision of number of copies required should be submitted via respective type Commander (COMCBPAC/ COMCBLANT/COMRNCF) and be addressed to Commanding Officer, Naval Construction Battalion Center (Code 155C), Port Hueneme, CA 93043-5000.

This revision is a complete reprint and includes the latest change at the time of revision. This publication cancels and supersedes the PRCP, NAVFAC P-458, Volume II-7, June 1982.

PART I

INTRODUCTION

Standards and Guides provide PRCP Interviewers with a standard interviewing procedure. By closely following this procedure, all Interviewers, regardless of duty assignment within the Naval Construction Force, should be able to classify personnel interviewed to a determined Skill Level within an acceptable degree of uniformity.

The Standards and Guides itemize the numerous tasks which Seabees must be capable of performing before they are assigned a Skill Level within any of those Skills required to perform contingency or peacetime construction operations as specified in the COMCBPAC/ COMCBLANT/COMCRNCF Instruction 1500.20 series.

Each PRCP Interviewer must be thoroughly indoctrinated in and be completely familiar with the “Instructions for Interviewers” explained herein before attempting to interview anyone. Failure to comply with this provision can only lead to a state of confusion for both the Interviewer and Interviewee and a subsequent degradation of the Program.

PART II

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

SECTION 1

RESPONSIBILITY AS AN INTERVIEWER

You have been appointed as a PRCP Interviewer because of your demonstrated experience and knowledge in a particular Skill or Skill Level. As an interviewer, it will be your responsibility to interview other Seabees to determine if they, too, are qualified in these same Skills.

It is possible that you will only be assigned to interview in one Skill area. This does not mean, however, that you are not equally proficient (and you may even excel) in other Skills. An important aspect of this type of interviewing system is that it will get more and more persons involved in evaluating their own capabilities by comparing them to those required by the &Iaval Construction Force. This should create more interest in self-improvement. It is felt, for example, that the majority of Interviewers will naturally try to learn more about the skill(s) they are responsible for; and through the interviews, they will learn how others think about, talk about, and perform these skills.

SECTION 2

UNDERSTANDING THE GUIDES

Page l-5, entitled “166 - Plastering,” which is an Individual Builder Skill, shall serve as our sample guide (Exhibit I).

Directly under this is the Contents which lists the Skill Levels and the Tasks for this Skill.

The number 166 is a numerical code which identifies this particular Builder Skill. All Individual Skills are assigned a three-digit code number. Each rating is assigned a block of one hundred of these three-digit numbers. For example, Builder Skills are all assigned in the loo-199 block, Construction Electrician in the 200-299 block, Construction Mechanic in the 300-399 block, and so on.

Listed directly under the Skill is: .l Skill Level 1. This is the way the various Skill Levels are coded. In other words, .l is Skill Level 1, .2 is Skill Level 2, and .3 is Skill Level 3.

Beneath each Skill Level are the Individual Tasks required of that Skill Level.

Each Task is assigned a two-digit code: .Ol, .02, etc.

The complete numerical designation for any given Task consists of the Skill Number - 166, the Skill Level Number - .l, and the Individual Task Number - .Ol; and together they would become - 166.1.01.

The next part of our Sample Guide is the Skill Definition(s) for Skill 166 - Plastering.

Here we find the scope of this particular Skill and the requirements for each Skill Level.

The final section of our Sample Guide, on page 4-6, (Exhibit ID, has five parts: (1) the TASK NUMBER - 166.1.01; (21 the TASK description - Operate and maintain gasoline driven, portable mortar mixer; (3) the ACTION STATEMENTS; (4) the TASK ELEMENTS;

and (5) the TASK ELEMENT MATRIX, which indicates the ACTION STATEMENTS to apply with each TASK ELEMENT.

To illustrate the MATRIX function, refer to TASK ELEMENT .03 - Start engine. Extend a line to the right and enter the MATRIX. Find an “X” under Column A and also under Column F. This indicates ACTION STATEMENTS A and F are to be applied to the TASK ELEMENT .03 - Start engine.

SECTION 3

STEPS FOR KNTERVLEWNG

STEP 1: Tell the interviewee what skill and skill level the interviewee is being interviewed for. If possible, give advance notification.

STEP 2: Ask the interviewee if the interviewee has been to a “C” School or has been assigned an NEC Wavy Enlisted Classification).

If the interviewee has an NEC in the skill for which the interviewee is being interviewed, the interviewee is automatically assigned to that skill level without being interviewed for any of the lower skill levels.

In certain skills, an NEC is not the highest level of competence, and in the case of Diver, there are three NECs assigned, designating skill levels.

STEP 3: Read the TASK to the interviewee to acquaint the interviewee with the area to be discussed. Rephrase as: “The first thing we are going to discuss for Skill Level 1 of Plastering is the operation and operator’s maintenance of the gasoline driven, portable mortar mixer.”

STEP 4: Read the TASK ELEMENT to the interviewee by applying it through the ACTION STATEMENT. It should be read something like: “Describe the sequence of steps when performing a prestart check, and explain the reasons for each.”

The TASK ELEMENT MATRIX ties each TASK ELEMENT to its required

ACTION STATEMENT(S).

The various STANDARD ACTION STATEMENTS are discussed more fully on pages 7-10, 7-11, and 7-12.

STEP 5: Use a positive approach when interviewing. The interviewee either does or does not know the skill. This is left up to your satisfaction as the interviewer. All TASKS must be accomplished for each skill level. The results of the interview are then introduced into the PRCP System.

11.

Study and understand your ‘Guides.”

Study the related “knowledge” aspects of your skill area.

Practice with other interviewers your technique of rephrasing and combining TASK ELEMENTS with the ACTION STATEMBNTS.

Select a place for interviewing where there are few distractions. Most people will talk more freely if others are not standing around listening. The area should be free from noise and as comfortable as possible. If you can supply coffee or even iced drinking water, it will help toward making the interview a success.

Show enthusiasm. Nothing “turns off” the interviewee quicker than an “I don’t care whether you qualify or not” attitude.

Attempt to place the interviewee at ease by explaining the purpose of the interview. For example:

a. To determine specific capabilities so the right person gets to the right job.

b. To let the interviewee know what he actually expected to be known and done.

C. To determine, when there are deficiencies, what type training the person should receive.

Explain to the interviewee that the interviewee should discuss what is honestly known of the skill and that the interviewee should not be embarrassed if not everything is known that is covered in the “Guides.” Many persons advance in rate who have never had the opportunity to perform certain practical factors because there was no equipment available to train on, or there was no work of a particular type going on where they were stationed.

Some interviewees will have trouble expressing themselves. As the interviewer, you have to lead the conversation by asking short questions pertinent to the TASK

BLEMBNT.

These “Guides” are only intended to touch on the more important aspects of the skill. As an expert in the skill, you will probably have a desire to ask questions in areas not covered. THIS MUST BE AVOIDED as then there will be no standard. If you feel strongly that the “Guides” should be improved in certain areas, discuss your recommendations with the PRCP coordinator.

Do not argue with statements which the interviewee believes or knows to be wrong.

Make sure that you have accurately interpreted and verify the task statements and data (NEC, mandatory school completion1 required by the skill level.

7-8

12. Certain ACTION STATEMENTS which require “steps” or “lists” can be handled easier if you take brief notes during the interview. Then if something important is omitted you can ask about it. It may be convenient to have the interviewee take notes also. A notebook of this information would be invaluable for future interviews. Tape recorders are a very convenient means of measuring the results of your interviewing technique; however, you must always consider their effect on the interviewee. Many persons get nervous when using a “mike.”

13. Verify doubtful points by asking questions, repeating back, or actually observing the operation in question later in the field.

14. Evaluate the results of each task and let the interviewee know if the interviewee is qualified to your satisfaction.

7-9

SECTION 5

STANDARD ACTION STATEMENTS

1. SKETCH OR POINT OUT THE SIGNIFICANT FEATURES OF THIS PROCEDURE

a. When this ACTION STATEMENT is used, the interviewee will be required to make a simple sketch of the item(s) used for the particular TASK ELEMENT; or the interviewer will provide a simple drawing on which the interviewee will point out the significant features.

b. One of the verbs (sketch or point out) may have been deleted, depending on what is actually required.

c. Whenever the point-out method is used, the interviewer must use the drawing included in the guide.

2. DESCRIBE THE SEQUENCE OF STEPS OF THIS PROCEDURE AND EXPLAIN THE

REASONS FOR EACH

a. This ACTION STATEMENT is used when there is a chain of events within a given

TASK ELEMENT.

b. The interviewee will be required to describe these events in a logical sequence, explaining the reason for each as he proceeds.

3. LIST SIGNIFICANT TOOLS/EQUIPMENT/MACHlNES USED IN THIS PROCEDURE

a. This ACTION STATEMENT is applied when specific tools/equipment/machines must be used to perform certain TASK ELEMENTS.

b. Any of the three items (tools, equipment, machines1 may have been deleted, depending on actual requirements. The interviewer must use his/her experience to determine which of the three items are applicable for any given TASK ELEMENT.

4. DESCRIBE PRINCIPAL MATERIALS USED IN THIS PROCEDURE

a. This ACTION STATEMENT is used when specific materials must be used in the performance of certain TASK ELEMENTS.

5. DISCUSS THE CONTROL/COORDINATION REQUIRED WHILE PERFORMING THIS

PROCEDURE

a. This ACTION STATEMENT is used when there is someone who must be contacted or notified before a TASK ELEMENT can begin, continue, or be completed.

6. DISCUSS THE PARAMETERS OF THIS PROCEDURE

a.

b.

A PARAMBTER, as used in these “Guides,” is defined as a variable such as temperature, pressure, flow rate, voltage, current, frequency, etc., which can be measured, monitored, or checked in any way during the procedure. Normally, this should be something which can be expressed in numbers.

The term PARAMETER is often confusing to the novice. Perhaps the best explanation you can give to the Interviewee is that the word PARAMETER must always be thought of as answering two questions: (11 What is the important variable -- for example, temperature - that must be considered when performing the TASK ELEMENT? and (2) What are the limits -- just how hot or cold - of this variable as applied to the specific situation? For example, if the task element states that you must “boil water,” then the parameters would be 212” F at sea level.

7. DESCRIBE INDICATIONS THAT WOULD BE OBSERVED DURING THIS PROCEDURE

a. Indications would be such things as lights, breakers, bus-ties, valves, meters, gages, noise, vibration, smoke, etc. The interviewee would be required to describe those things which would indicate that equipment, machines, etc., are running properly or that a product is being assembled or constructed correctly.

8. DESCRIBE ASSISTANCE REQUIRED WHILE PERFORMING THIS PROCEDURE

a. This ACTION STATEMENT is used when technical, professional, physical, legal, or other assistance is required to perform the procedure properly.

9. EXPLAIN RESULTS IF THIS PROCEDURE IS NOT PERFORMED PROPERLY OR IF IT

IS NEGLECTED

a. This ACTION STATEMENT is used to ensure that the Interviewee fully comprehends what would happen if the procedure is not done properly or is forgotten. Results could be equipment or personnel casualties, a security break, or a product which would not fulfill its intended use or last its full life expectancy.

10. DISCUSS SAFETY PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED

a. This ACTION STATEMENT will require the interviewee to describe those safety precautions which are unique to this procedure that must be observed to prevent injury to himself/herself or other personnel. Normally, this statement should not be used to discuss very broad or general safety precautions.

ll. PERFORM THE STEPS OF THIS PROCEDURE WHEN PRACTICAL

a. This ACTION STATEMENT is applied when it is felt that the interviewee should perform the procedure because it would be the only true way of seeing if the interviewee could do it correctly.

b. Practical performance (except as noted in ACTION STATEMENT 121 is not mandatory in these guides.

7-11

12. PERFORM THE STEPS OF THIS PROCEDURE )

a. This ACTION STATEMENT is used when the procedure can be performed on paper, such as a mathematics problem.

13. MISCELLANEOUS ACTION STATEMENTS

a. Occasionally, a non-standard ACTION STATEMENT has been devised to cover a specific situation. They are used like any standard ACTION STATEMENT.

7-12

PART III

GLOSSARY OF STANDARD TERMS

ACTION STATEMENT: An action statement tells the interviewer what type of information he/she must seek from the interviewee. Each action statement is identified in the “Guides” by a capital letter, for example, A, B, etc. This letter designation may vary from task to task, depending on the number actually used.

SKILL: A skill is a specific art or trade. For PRCP purposes, skills are described broadly as either a “manipulative” or a “knowledge” Skill. At present, all PRCP skills are identified in five categories: (1) Individual General Skills, (2) Individual Rating Skills, (31 Individual Special Skill, (4) Military Skills, and (51 Crew Experience.

S KILL DEFINITION: A skill definition defines those tasks which an individual must be capable of performing in a given skill area in order to meet specific construction or contingency requirements. Each skill definition is expressed in one, two, or three skill levels. The majority of skill definitions have been written in terms of the manipulative aspects of the skill rather than the knowledge aspects.

SKILL LEVEL:

TASK:

A skill level is a smaller grouping of tasks within the skill which identifies a recognized or required degree of accomplishment.

Each skill may contain one, two, or three skill levels. Tasks in Skill Level 1 are always less complex than those in Skill Level 2;

and in Skill Level 2, they would be less complex than those in Skill Level 3. In fact, almost every level 2 or 3 requires that the individual must have qualified in the preceding skill level. There is no similarity between skill levels in terms of complexity. For exgple, a Skill Level 1 in Light Frame Construction performs relatively routine tasks; whereas in Ceramic Tile Setting, Skill Level 1 encompasses the entire trade and the individual must hold an NEC (Navy Enlisted Classification) in order to qualify.

A task is simply a specified portion of the overall skill level.

Many tasks cover relatively broad areas; others may be quite specific and brief. In the “Standards and Guides,” each task has been broken down into several smaller “jobs,” which we have termed TASK ELEMENTS.

TASK ELEMENT: A task element is a basic part of each task. As an interviewer, you will interview primarily from the task elements with their related action statements. Quite often, task elements are separated into one or more smaller parts to ensure coverage of some important aspect.

Instructions for Interviewers

When interviewing persons in these Individual General Skills, you simply read the skill level definition to them and ask whether or not they (11 have the required experience, (2) have completed the applicable training, (3) have the required NEC (Navy Enlisted Classification), (4) have met the time requirement, or (51 have met any other stated requirement in the definition. Normally, you should expect a simple “yes” or “no” answer.

It should be noted that much of the information needed to satisfy these general skill requirements can be gleaned from the interviewee’s service record or from the company training record. This should be done whenever possible to cut down on interviewing time.

Then, when the interviewee is in for interviewing, it will be just a matter of verification or of updating.
