Naval Aviation=world's greatest team sport
Fair enough for those of you who will be writing O evals anytime soon. For those of us who will sign off E evals in the semi-near future, is there any good guidance? Or is the verbage similar? Have never really seen either in detail....
Rule #1: Ruthlessly manage your reporting senior average. Once you start writing evaluations, it's tracked for the rest of your career by BUPERS. Don't be all over the map with your grading.
Rule #2: Cuffs and collars need to match--meaning that the promotion recommendation, narrative comments, and performance mark average should track together.
Rule #3: Have a plan for how to manage the evaluation process for your Sailors. It's perfectly fine for a good Sailor to start off with a P or MP evaluation as long as you know you'll have the time and available slots to progress them from left to right on the form--P to EP. The Chief's board expects that.
Rule #4: Do the numerical breakout on all your EP's and the top 3 or 4 MP's in the narrative section. It's another way to show progression in performance and it's expected by the Chief's board.
Rule #5: Get your CMC to put in a chit to be a member of the Chief's board. Great gouge abounds from that experience.
