To be useful and equitable, these comparisons must be consistent. A detailed explanation of how to record the ranking of individual members can be found in the Navy Enlisted Performance Evaluation (EVAL) Manual, BUPERSINST 1616.9. Commands should develop ranking procedures, tailored to their needs, that emphasize uniformity and fairness. Some commands begin the ranking process by organizing  a  committee,  sometimes  called  a “performance ranking board.” The goal of the ranking board is to assign a numeric position to each person whose performance evaluation ranks within the top 50 percent of a paygrade. This enlisted comparison group consists of all members of the same paygrade (regardless of rating, branch/class, or status) who receive reports from the same reporting senior with the same “TO” date on their eval. All members in the comparison group must be compared together in block 40 of the enlisted Performance evaluation. Members who are frocked and members who are elected for a commissioning program should be ranked separately. Personnel with an approved Fleet Reserve or retirement date should not be ranked. Most commands have developed their own method of ranking their people. The method described here is one of many. It works well for both small and large groups. It is an equitable system that allows each individual’s evaluation to be compared to every other evaluation in the same comparison group. This method is subjective, particularly when you are ranking large numbers of people whose performance you are not 3-13
