slang for the
title and
work of a
post in a
Scientology organization; taken from the
fact that in many professions, such as railroading, the
type of
hat worn is the badge of the
job. The
term hat is also used to describe the write-ups,
checksheets and packs that outline the
purposes, know-how and duties of a
post. It exists in folders and packs and is
trained in on the person on the
post.
