How may personnel, who are retraining via OJT, be awarded a 3-skill level?

• A. After completing basic training.
• B. When they complete knowledge training on all tasks taught in the initial skills course and other tasks and mandatory requirements.
• C. After they complete a six-month supervised probation.
• D. Upon passing a single task test.

Answer: (B)

The main idea is that a 3-skill level for personnel retraining through OJT is earned by confirming comprehensive knowledge of all tasks in the initial skills course plus any additional tasks and mandatory requirements. This ensures the airman has a complete, verified understanding of the work they’ll perform, not just partial familiarity.

In practice, this means completing the knowledge training that covers every task taught in the initial skills course, along with any other required tasks and mandatory requirements for the specialty. It isn’t awarded just after finishing basic training, after a short probation, or from passing a single task test. The emphasis is on thorough, recognized knowledge across the full set of duties for the career field.
