AEROGRAPHER'S MATE 3 & 2 The first aerological personnel held the rat- ing of Quartermaster with meteorological duties (QMA). This was changed in 1923 to Aerog- rapher (Aerog).

AEROGRAPHER'S MATE 3 & 2 The first aerological personnel held the rat- ing of Quartermaster with meteorological duties (QMA). This was changed in 1923 to Aerog- rapher (Aerog). With the establishment of the warrant rank in 1942, the rating became Aerog- rapher's Mate (AerM). In 1948 the rating be- came Aerographer's Mate (AG), which is one of the Group IX or aviation ratings. There is no service rating provided for Aerographer's Mates. Figure 1-1 illustrates all paths of advance- ment for an Airman Recruit to Master Chief Aerographer's Mate (AGCM). Notice that each enlisted pay grade has a name; for example, E-l, recruit. An E-4 is called Aerographer's Mate 3rd class; an E-9 is called Master Chief Aerographer's Mate. Figure 1-2(A) illustrates the active duty advancement requirements from E-l through E-9. Figure 1-2(B) illustrates the inactive duty advancement requirements. It is difficult to differentiate the type of work performed at various rate levels of the Aerog- rapher's Mate rating. The work largely de- pends upon the mission of the weather unit and the personnel available to accomplish the mis- sion. However, an attempt will be made to generalize the basic duties of the two lower rates. As an Aerographer's Mate 3, you must be able to operate weather facsimile and teletype equipment; Automatic Picture Transmission (APT) Satellite receiving equipment; perform routine checks and operator's preventive main- tenance of meteorological and oceanographic equipment; make, record, and prepare for transmission surface and upper wind observa- tions; decode weather codes and plot data on surface and upper air charts; decode and plot oceanographic data; decode and plot a radio- logical fallout message; and typewrite for 5 minutes at 20 words per minute. As an Aerographer's Mate 3, you must know the application of basic laws of motion, gases, heat, and energy to meteorology; general char- a
