SURVEY
1. The OA survey is the means to capture and define the current world
of work for the ME rating.
2. All Maritime Enforcement Specialists (active duty and reserve)
will receive an e-mail in April 2012 containing a link to an online
OA survey. The ME OA survey will stay active for six weeks.
3. Commands are requested to ensure ample opportunity is given to ME
members and all ME personnel are highly encouraged to participate to
ensure the data contains a diverse array of billet types and pay
grades. This input will contribute to the professional development
and readiness of the ME workforce.
4. Data collected from the survey will undergo analysis and then be
categorized into a report for Program Manager use. The OA report will
be used by the ME Rating Force Master Chief (RFMC) to update the ME
Rating Performance Qualifications (RPQ) during an upcoming rating
review. The revised RPQs will drive development of new ME resident
and non-resident training and development of service-wide examination
questions.

Center (PTC) Occupational Analysis Team in collaboration with the ME
RFMC and a team of ME Accomplished Performers.
