Each person should be given the opportunity to submit information the member believes should be included in the evaluation report. Personnel being evaluated should receive an Enlisted Performance Evaluation Report—Individual Input form, shown in figure 2-10. This form, often referred to as the “brag sheet, ” allows personnel to make specific inputs to the evaluator. As a supervisor and an evaluator, establish a deadline for submission of the brag sheet to ensure you receive all information in time to include it on the performance evaluation report. The brag sheet may contain any factual information the person thinks is appropriate. However, as the reporting senior, you will decide what information the final evaluation report will contain. The instruction covering the Enlisted Perfor- mance Evaluation Report requires commands to fully advise all members of their right to redress (to seek correction) and to provide access to reference  material  as  appropriate.  Navy Regulations, Uniform Code of Military Justice, Military Personnel Manual (MILPERSMAN), and other directives contain information regarding individual rights. While commanding officers may delegate authority to sign certain enlisted performance evaluations, they are responsible for properly submitting evaluation reports; they may not delegate that responsibility. Report Development Although you only have to submit evaluation reports on an annual basis, you should develop information for these reports on a daily basis. Leave nothing to the chance of memory. Develop an organized method of gathering enough infor- mation on which to base a thorough and accurate evaluation of a person’s performance. When preparing the evaluation report, you can refer to that information for significant facts about the person instead of relying on your memory. Referring to that information also ensures the development of a factual report. Keep a record of command operations and of how well the division or unit performed as a whole throughout the period of evaluation. You may find that information helpful in developing individual reports. Continuity Enlisted performance evaluations should maintain day-to-day continuity beginning with the day following a person’s detachment from recruit training. When a person is reporting to active duty for other than recruit training, begin the evaluation period the day the person begins travel to the duty station. When evaluating personnel with broken service, cover periods of duty involving their reoutfitting. Also cover periods of time when the member was not physically present at the command, such as leave and travel time before reporting aboard, while attending school, or while on TAD to the barracks. Such periods must be shown in either block 54 (Duties and Responsibilities) for TAD periods or block 55 (Special Achievements) for schools, as appro- priate. The requirement for continuity ends when the member is discharged without immediate reenlistment, retires, transfers to Fleet Reserve, or is released from active duty to an inactive- standby  status. Special reports submitted to document superior  or  substandard  performance  and concurrent reports may or may not satisfy continuity requirements, depending on the circumstances involved. For example: YN1 Walter T. Door, assigned to USS Bluewater (DDG 00), receives an annual report on 30 November 1990. On 8 April 1991, he was selected as sailor-of-the- quarter and received a special performance evaluation for the period 1 January 1991 to 30 March 1991. The annual report, due 30 November 1991, should have maintained evaluation con- tinuity by covering the period 1 December 1990 to 30 November 1991. On the other hand, AT1 John A. Doe, assigned to VA-00, received an annual report on 30 November 1990. On 1 December 1990, he was assigned TAD to AIMD, NAS Back Yard. On 30 November 1991, AIMD, NAS Back Yard, gave AT1 Doe a concurrent annual report,    which covered the period 1 December 1990 to 30 November 1991. Since this concurrent report maintained continuity in his performance evaluation reports, no other report was required if the regular reporting senior adopted the report as a regular report. Other Than Normal Evaluation Categories You may submit enlisted performance evalua- tions for reasons other than the normal require- ment for an annual report, depending on the circumstances of the evaluation period. Newly reported personnel, personnel under instruction at schools, and persons awaiting disciplinary action are some of the people included in other than normal evaluation categories. 2-13
