BLOCK 21 -RESERVE PARTICIPATION. Indicate the drill status of inactive Naval Reserve members only. Leave this block blank on active- duty, TEMAC, and annual training (blocks 6, 8, and 9) reports. BLOCK 22 -EFFECTIVE DATE OF RATE. Unless the person is in a frocked status, enter the effective date the person was last advanced or reduced in paygrade in year/month/day format. If the person is in a frocked status on the closing date of the report, enter the word frocked. DO NOT ENTER DATE OF FROCKING. If the person was in a frocked status during part of the period of the report but was actually advanced on or before the closing date shown in block 17, enter the date of actual advancement. EXAMPLE: 91 JAN16 FROCKED BLOCKS  23,  24,  25,  26  -REPORTING SENIOR’S  NAME,  RANK,  TITLE,  AND SOCIAL  SECURITY  NUMBER  (SSN). Normally, the command’s administration office will fill in these blocks; therefore, you will not normally have to fill them in on the rough evalua- tion report. If required to fill in these blocks, enter the following information: BLOCK 23 -Enter the reporting senior’s name (last and initials). BLOCK 24 -Enter the reporting senior’s rank. BLOCK 25 -Enter the reporting senior’s title. BLOCK 26 -Enter the reporting senior’s social security number. BLOCKS 27 THROUGH 40- EVALUATION  SECTION. Enter an X in one, and only one, of the columns for each trait. (See the sample worksheet in NAVMILPERSCOMINST 1616.1A.) The evaluation section, in combination with the evaluation comments section (block 56), is the most important part of the evaluation report. Here, as the reporting supervisor, you assess the member’s performance in certain key areas. Guided by the standard, assign a grade in each trait. If the member doesn’t demonstrate performance in an evaluation trait area, a mark in the Not Observed column for that trait is appropriate. As a reporting supervisor, temper your standards by comparing the person’s performance against others you have known of the same rate. For a person not assigned the normal duties of his or her rate or rating, compare that person’s performance against others of the same paygrade performing similar duties. For example, compare the performance of a BM1 assigned duty normally associated with his or her rate against the performance of other BM1s, If that BM1 is an instructor, compare his or her performance against the performance of other petty officers first class also serving as instructors, regardless of the other instructors’ ratings. Don’t confuse this comparison with block 40 (Summary). Block 40 is the number of personnel in the member’s paygrade rated in each overall area in block 39. The figures in block 40 will equal the total of all personnel in the member’s paygrade evaluated, regardless of rating. Try to mark each trait objectively. Avoid the tendency to assign the same mark in all evaluation areas based on an overriding influence of a specific trait. If a Totally Not Observed report is called for, complete it in the following manner: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Complete blocks 1 through 26 as previously prescribed. Leave blocks 27 through 38 blank. Enter an X in the NOT OBS (not observed) column of block 39 only. Leave block 40 (Summary) blank. Leave blocks 41 through 43 (Advancement Recommendation)  blank. Complete blocks 44 through 55 as pre- scribed for those blocks. In block 56 (Evaluation Comments), give the reason for the Not Observed report; for example, “Petty Officer has been on board for less than 90 days. ” BLOCK  27  -MILITARY  KNOWLEDGE/ PERFORMANCE.  Evaluate  the  person’s knowledge of military customs and watch- standing duties and knowledge of, and contribu- tion to, the command’s mission; responsibilities within the chain of command; and his or her level of performance in these areas. BLOCK  28  -RATING  KNOWLEDGE/ PERFORMANCE. Assess the member’s knowledge of and level of performance of his or her job-related duties, application of technical and 2-22
