how each works within the group. You may
simply need to provide an input to the evaluations
of your personnel, such as a list of tasks
accomplished or short sentences or paragraphs
describing tasks accomplished. You may need to
submit a “rough” evaluation, including tentative
marks in all areas and narratives in appropriate
blocks of the evaluation form. No matter what
the submission requirements are, you can expect
guidance from your leading petty officer or chief.
You rate the performance of personnel for
several reasons. For example, you check people
to single out the best worker for each job. You
also want to recognize those with the potential for
accepting increased responsibility, to determine
who is eligible and who warrants advancement in
rate, and to provide feedback to personnel on the
quality of their performance. As a petty officer,
you will be responsible for providing your
subordinates with fair evaluations of their
performance.
To make personnel evaluations as fair as
possible, the Navy has set up the Enlisted
Performance Evaluation System. This system
helps the Navy do the following:
Determine eligibility of an individual for
reenlistment, honorable discharge, and
Good Conduct awards
Permit the commanding officer to in-
fluence the advancement opportunities of
outstanding personnel or to identify un-
satisfactory performers
Select personnel for advancement, ap-
pointment to commissioned status, assign-
ment to special duties, and for special
educational programs
The commanding officer or officer in charge
is responsible for the performance evaluations of
all assigned personnel; but the immediate super-
visor, such as yourself, usually makes the initial
input. Review of this initial input is through the
chain of command. We prepare final reports on
evaluation forms (figs, 4-1 and 4-2) for the
signature of the commanding officer or a
delegated officer.
REPORT OF ENLISTED
PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
We complete evaluations on all personnel once
each year and make special evaluations on certain
occasions. Three general types of reports exist:
periodic, transfer, and other. Periodic reports are
those submitted on the reporting dates set by
NAVMILPERSCOMINST 1616.1A. We submit
transfer reports upon a member’s permanent
change of station, including detachment to and
from temporary duty. We submit other reports
to fulfill a requirement other than a periodic or
transfer report. The occurrence of any of the
