the crewmember performed on this task and directs him to the next task or to further
training. One evaluator can test one--and only one--crewmember at a time.
2. Procedures Used When Personnel Receive a NO GO. If a crewmember fails to
achieve the standards on the performance measures, he earns a NO GO. When this
happens, the evaluator explains to the crewmember what he did wrong and how to
correct his mistakes. Then, he retests the crewmember IAW local SOP.

dummy 7.62-mm ammunition loaded into the ready box.
STANDARDS
Within 6 minutes, the crewmembers--
1. Loaded the coax machine
2. Fired the coax machine gun.
3. Applied immediate action to the coax machinegun.
EVALUATION PROCEDURES
1. Administrative Process. At this task, the evaluator logs information about each
crewmember on a roster. He supplies the crewmember with all required materials and
equipment, displaying them IAW this manual. He uses the performance measures to
record the crewmember's performance. Afterward, he tells the crewmember how well
the crewmember performed on this task and directs him to the next task or to further
training. One evaluator can test one--and only one--crewmember at a time.
2. Procedures Used When Personnel Receive a NO GO. If a crewmember fails to
achieve the standards on the performance measures, he earns a NO GO. When this
happens, the evaluator explains to the crewmember what he did wrong and how to
correct his mistakes. Then, he retests the crewmember IAW local SOP.

the crewmember performed on this task and directs him to the next task or to further
training. One evaluator can test one--and only one--crewmember at a time.
2. Procedures Used When Personnel Receive a NO GO. If a crewmember fails to
achieve the standards on the performance measures, he earns a NO GO. When this
happens, the evaluator explains to the crewmember what he did wrong and how to
correct his mistakes. Then, he retests the crewmember IAW local SOP.
