QUALIFICATIONS FOR PRONIOTICN e

The attention of all officers, and especj.ally of those in the junior grades, is invited to the relationshill bctvceen ,the fundamental elements of their profession, 2nd specialization.

As a prime requisite, all offi rs of the Line rmst be capsble mariners and. proficient lecders.

Supplementary to tiiis, each should acouire proficiency in at least one specialty of the naval profession.

The need for speciPliFts has long been recognized. A generation ago Idahan wrote,

"Like other professions, the NaF- tends to, and for efficiency requires, specializa- tion l1

Without competent and sufficiently numerous sl?ecialSsts in each of the many specialties, the Navy as a who2.e cannot operate successfully.

In its function of assigning officers to duty the Bureau has constantly in mind the faregoing pcinciples, bdt the cooperation of flag and camiianding officers is reqGired in making av

Lately the Examining Eoard has becn obliged to hold up the n of certain officers to the pade of Lieutenant Comander, ovving to the fact that their records did noi inciicate that they were qualifieci mtch officers.

Not only must all line officers be qnalified in watch stand- ing an6 ship handling, but this cLualifictttion must be shown affir- matively in each officer's Report of Fitnsss.
