Part 4 – Training
Chapter 6 – Currency Maintenance
Section B. Currency Requirements
Introduction
Listed in Table 4-9 are the minimum currency requirements for
maintaining current crew position certification.
(01) Only those tasks required for the highest certification held need
be completed.
(02) All currency tasks are considered “ANY” tasks. Completion of
the task on a single boat type satisfies the currency requirement
for all boats for which the member is certified, even if the task
says to complete IAW an initial qualification “TYPE” task.
(03) Currency maintenance tasks will be accomplished on boats
assigned to the unit or identical standard boats.
(04) Requirements may be met through performance during normal
operations or dedicated training operations.
(05) Additional requirements to complete some tasks on every boat
type or to get a certain number of hours on every boat type is left
to the individual command to manage as they see fit.
(06) Personnel who are students at Boat Forces Training Centers will
not be credited currency hours for underway time accrued while
attending courses.

NOTE
Table 4-9 lists the currency requirements for all certification levels.
Many units find it helpful to use a Currency Status Board, as shown
below in Figure 4-1, as a visual aid to track individual currency. This
sample boat crew status board does not encompass all currency
maintenance requirements. Units should tailor status boards to reflect
unit requirements.
Each crewmember’s currency period normally commences upon the
e ffective date of certification or recertification. However, due to the
complexity of managing individual currency maintenance cycles,
currency will be tracked through the periods 01 January to 30 June and
01 July through 31 December.
Personnel need only maintain currency in the most senior crew position
held.
A crewmember who is certified or recertified within 60 days of the end of the
currency/proficiency period does not have to complete the minimum proficiency
requirements for that period.
