NOT Level 5 skill level requirement?

NOT Level 5 skill level requirement?

• A. 5 level ICW
• B. 12 months OJT
• C. 30 days dissimilar duty section
• D. 9 months OJT

Answer: (D)

Upgrading to a Level 5 skill level is built around completing a full, minimum duration of on-the-job training in the specialty so you’ve gained hands-on experience across the required tasks. Nine months of OJT does not meet that minimum time, so it would not satisfy the standard requirement for Level 5. The other components—having the 5-level training included in the plan and completing a period of dissimilar/different-duty exposure—are parts of the usual upgrade process to ensure broader proficiency. So the option describing nine months of OJT is the one that is not a Level 5 requirement.
