"I think ASM is an exciting product and believe that many segments of our Navy would benefit."

Terrance T. Etnyre
VADM, USN (retired)

"As the Global War On Terrorism continues, it remains imperative that Force Commanders have a system to rapidly and accurately assess personnel and unit training proficiency and thereby readiness for tasking. The Fleet's Advanced Skills Management System Software Module (ASM) is that system."

Capt. Avgi Ioannidis
COMNAVAIRFOR, N422
(Director Aircraft Maintenance Policy)

"ASM is the tool we need to better manage the training and qualification requirements of the thousands of artisans in our Navy Shipyards."

Jim Taylor
RADM(retired)

"Our work center supervisors, division chiefs/officers, home based or deployed to a site with Common Access Card capability, can review progress of an entire work center or of an individual to keep track of qualifications, expiration dates, or where the possible ‘hold-up' is on a particular qualification. ... ASM has simplified matters and to sum up ASM in two simple words: It rocks!"

Lt. Cmdr. R. R. Powell
VQ-3, Tinker AFB
(Assistant Maintenance Officer)

"ASM allows the flexibility to examine a training jacket ... without needing to be physically in the work center. This flexibility allows ... inspectors to check a training program at any time, not just during an audit or inspection. So ... our whole team engages to solve (or avoid) problems more proactively than before."

(ASM Fleet Administrator)

"The ASM application has been so successful, and so broad in scope, that new communities are beginning to embrace it as a requirement to manage credentials for their workforce.  Such organizations include the Marine Corps, NETWARCOM for the Information Assurance Rates, Naval Personnel Development Command for Personnel Qualifications Standards, Torpedo Intermediate Maintenance activities, and Meteorologists at the Naval Meteorological Professional Development Center."

Eric Seeley
Naval Undersea Warfare Center
(Program Manager)

"ASM allows users to document training for entire work centers with a few clicks of the mouse button."

(Maintenance Training Program)

"ASM enables the entire command structure the ability to track training and the status of qualifications, certifications, and licenses without pushing or losing any paper. ASM's Reports (a query report feature) support proactive reviews and audits and helps us maintain our personnel skills and our aircraft maintained and ready."

AE2 Y. Sandoval
VFA 125, NAS Lemoore
(ASM Fleet Administrator)

"Inspection team members can customize their reports to look specifically at their program area of responsibility. ... ASM is helping us make a standardized training track for all P-3 maintenance personnel. ... The amount of time spent on re-qualification has been greatly reduced."
