ENLISTED EVALUATION REPORT
AND COUNSELING RECORD
Learning Objectives: When you finish this chapter,
you will be able to—
Recognize the purpose of the enlisted
performance evaluation system.
Identify the traits to be evaluated.
The Enlisted Evaluation Report and Counseling
Record is used to document an individual’s
qualifications, performance, conduct, and eligibility for
increased responsibility. The Evaluation Report and
Counseling Record is the most significant personnel
management tool in your service record. It is used
primarily by BUPERS to make advancement-in-rate
and assignment decisions. It may also be used for the
following purposes:
To determine eligibility for Good Conduct
Medals
For reenlistment
To determine the type of discharge
As a basis for selecting members for
advancement
For continuation of service
For appointment to commissioned status
For assignment to special duties
For special educational programs
The Evaluation Report and Counseling Record is
very important. Both the command and you, the
individual Sailor, need to pay attention to it.
DEVELOPMENT AND REVIEW
All Sailors need to submit information they believe
should be included in their evaluation to their reporting
senior. Types of information you may submit include
but are not limited to—
Off-duty educational achievements
Completed correspondence courses
Community involvement
Also, you have the right to review your own
evaluation before final disposition is made. You need to
take an active role in developing and reviewing your
evaluation. Your career and your future depend on it.
TRAITS TO BE EVALUATED
The reporting senior compares your performance
against others of the same rate and rating as yourself.
When you aren’t assigned duties of your rate or rating,
comparison is made against others of the same paygrade
who are performing similar duties. The reporting senior
will make a concerted effort to evaluate you objectively
in each trait. Each trait is assigned a numerical value and
there are meanings as follows:
5.0—Greatly Exceeds Standards
4.0—Above Standards
3.0—Meets Standards
2.0—Progressing
1.0—Below Standards
Some of the traits you may be evaluated on are
