Reporting an offense can be done orally or in
the form of a written report chit. If your
command has a locally prepared report chit, you
should use that form; otherwise, you can use the
standard Navy report chit, Report and Disposition
of Offense(s), NAVPERS 1626/7.

After a report chit is submitted, the commanding
officer assigns a junior officer or senior petty
officer to conduct a preliminary inquiry of the
alleged
offense(s).

results
of
the

officer’s inquiry (XOI), also known as a
screening mast. At the XOI, the executive
officer will either dismiss the report chit or
forward it to the commanding officer for
captain’s mast.
