- SUBJECT: MGT - Skills inventory by the Radio Officer
-
- There are times that an inventory of RACES member skills can
- be helpful to the Radio Officer. Here are the skill codes we
- have developed for our communications volunteers in government
- service:
-
- A Administration: supervision, management or administrative
- assistant
- C Consultant, technician, engineer, installer, sysop or remote
- sysop
- D Digital and/or computer, including disc preparation
- F Field responder
- G Go-fer, Messenger
- H OES Headquarters operating experience
- L Liaison, as with CAP, MARS, Highway Patrol, State Police,
- Forestry, others...
- N Net Control Experience on HF
- P Photographer
- R Radio Officer
- S Secretarial, clerical
- T ATV and or related video skills
- V VIP enrolled and trained in CDF VIP amateur radio unit
- W Work party and/or tower climbing
- Z Commercial type Drivers License
-
- The data came from an enrollment form which lists interest
- areas ranging from 1 to 10. They are sorted on the computer into
- meaningful rosters. Letter designators are used as members have
- multiple skills or areas of interest. This assures the interests
- of each individual is met, as well as provides a quick reference.
- In a recent situation heavy-rig drivers were needed in the fire
- division of OES. A quick check of the RACES roster found three
- such drivers. Two were contacted, and assigned to the fire
- division. While that was not a radio operation, they filled a
- need that utilized their skills and were pleased to be called for
- their assignment. That this occurred was due to the interest and
- skill of a RACES Coordinator who involves RACES members in any
- conceivable situation that their skills can be effectively uti-
- lized. While this may not be applicable to your situation, use it
- as an idea and create your own! ---Cary Mangum, W6WWW
