An OS in an OU or SU is initially assigned to which level?

• A. The Apprentice Level
• B. The Master Level
• C. The Journeyman Level
• D. The Senior Level

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that proficiency levels in this system are a progression from beginner to advanced, and new personnel start with foundational training. An OS arriving in an Organizational Unit or Support Unit begins at the Apprentice level to learn the basic duties, unit procedures, safety requirements, and standard workflows under supervision. This entry point ensures consistent onboarding and a solid skill base before taking on more independent tasks. As they demonstrate competence, they move up to Journeyman for more responsibility, then Master for advanced expertise, and finally Senior for leadership and broader responsibility. So starting at Apprentice is the natural starting point for building the necessary fundamentals in the OU or SU.
