Part 4 – Training
Chapter 5 – Certification
A.3. Exceptions Certification is normally accomplished in accordance with the
requirements set forth in this chapter.
There are two types of exceptions to these requirements:
(01) Temporary duty certification.
(02) Interim certifications.
A.3.a. Temporary
Duty Certification
Unit Commanders may authorize personnel certified at other commands
to operate unit boats when those personnel are assigned under:
(01) Temporary Duty (TD).
(02) Temporary Additional Duty (TAD).
(03) (Reservists) Active Duty for Training to Satisfy Annual Training
Required (ADT-AT).
(04) (Reservists) Active Duty or Operational Support (ADOS).
(05) Inactive Duty Training (IDT).
An area familiarization exercise and a check-ride are required prior to
such authorization. Deployable Operations Units under TAD orders
shall ensure area familiarization rides are completed, when possible,
prior to commencement of operations.
A.3.a.1. Deferred
Tasks
A.3.b. Interim
Certification
CO/OICs may defer tasks when specific qualification tasks cannot be
accomplished in a reasonable amount of time (e.g. due to availability of
TCT/ORM, First Aid/CPR, and Helicopter Operations) and are listed as
Deferred Tasks in TMT. See, Unit CO and OIC, Part 4, Chapter 3,
Section C of this Manual for details.
Interim certifications are used to address situations where resources,
platforms or operations prevent a normal certification process from
occurring. Each interim certification type is named for clarity. However,
TMT uses only “interim certification”.
Interim certifications should not exceed 60 days. However, CO/OICS
may issue extensions until requirements are met. See, Unit CO and OIC,
Part 4, Chapter 3, Section C of this Manual for details.
