BLOCK 56 -EVALUATION COMMENTS.
YOU MUST LIMIT EVALUATION COM-
MENTS TO THE SPACE PROVIDED. CON-
TINUATION SHEETS WILL NOT BE
ACCEPTED. Do not include narrative remarks
in E-1 through E-3 evaluations. In petty officer
third class evaluations, do not include narrative
remarks, but list significant qualifications the
person achieved during the reporting period (such
as Top Watch [BT3] or Watch Captain [MS3]).
Use of clear, concise, specific statements in bullet
format is recommended. Do not use unusual
abbreviations or acronyms, particularly those
developed locally or those of a transitory nature.
Written comments document and amplify other
areas of the report. Comments should convey
sufficient detail and conclusive facts to assure
readers the evaluation is a true description of the
members performance. You do not have to
confine comments to the scope of duties indicated
in block 54 (Duties and Responsibilities). The
following are other areas on which you should
comment:
1. Arduous or Combat Conditions. Thor-
oughly document performance under arduous or
combat conditions with type, length, and location.
If the individual experienced an actual combat
engagement or other hazardous action, comment
on his or her performance.
2. Acts of Heroism. Describe acts of heroism
in this section of the report. Examples include acts
for which a personal decoration was recom-
mended but not approved at a higher level or acts
for which civilian recognition has been bestowed
although a military decoration is not appropriate.
3. Awards. Indicate when the member has
received a medal or an award during the reporting
period. You need not comment on the actual
events that resulted in the award or medal,
provided appropriate documentation for the
award or medal has been forwarded to the
BUPERS.
4. Interactions With Foreign Nationals. When
a member is assigned to overseas duty or
deploying commands, you may evaluate the
members result ant significant interactions with
foreign nationals. Reflect the positive con-
tributions of the member toward the commands
overseas diplomacy program in your comments.
Also reflect the members willingness to interact
with foreign nationals in a way that would a have
positive impact either directly with individual or
indirectly in situations involving public
observation.
5. Providing Services. Provide comments
about those members serving in billets that
provide services, such as post offices, special
services offices, PASS offices, and personnel

7. Naval Investigative Service (NIS) Reports.
Do not refer specifically to NIS reports in
evaluation reports.
8. Aircraft Accident Reports. Do not refer
specifically to aircraft accident reports in
evaluation reports.
9. Court-Martial Personnel. Article 37,
UCMJ, specifically prohibits convening
authorities and other commanding officers from
censuring, reprimanding, or admonishing a court
or any member with respect to the findings or
sentence adjudged by the court, or with respect
to any other exercise or functions in the conduct
of the proceedings. In the preparation of evalua-
tion reports, you may not rate or evaluate enlisted
personnel on the basis of their performance of
duty as members of a court-martial. However,
you may state that a person served as a member
of a court-martial.
10. Resolution of Weaknesses or Problems.
Evaluation reports cover a specific period of
performance. Therefore, you need not discuss
weaknesses or problems addressed in a previous
evaluation report in subsequent reports provided
the weakness has been overcome or the problem
resolved. The current trait mark should indicate
the degree of accomplishment or resolution. If the
member has made unsatisfactory progress toward
resolution and the weakness or problems remain
at an other than satisfactory level, you may assign
appropriate trait marks and make narrative
comments accordingly. Remember that reference
to previous weaknesses or problems, even to
report they no longer exist, will make the
subsequent evaluation adverse. The evaluation
