#Echelons between Ship and Fleet (such as Squadrons, Task Groups and Divisions), and internal organizations in Bureaus (such as different Academies in BuTrain) shall not have Bosuns appointed.  Instead these units MAY appoint a Non Commissioned Officer In Charge that would assist and report to the Fleet/Bureau Bosun as assistants to that position in the duties outlined in the appropriate job description, and would be considered a member of the Fleet/Bureau Bosun’s staff as well as the Unit Commanders Staff.  The NCOIC of the Echelon would also be able to support the Unit Commander who may assign other duties as needed and appropriate to the individual echelon.  This is not a formal Bosun position and remains outside the enlisted Chain of Command, and Ship Bosuns will remain required to contact their Fleet SMCPO with directly with matters pertinent to the enlisted chain of command.  These informal positions do not come with a brevet and requirements are up to the appointing Unit Commander with consultation of the appropriate Fleet/Bureau Bosun.
