CO's endorsement help

Coldnavy

Does anyone know where I can find the format for the CO’s endorsement? I need to draft one and can't find the format anywhere.

Thanks,
Scott

You can find the general interviewer's appraisal form (1131/5) at:

https://rq.cnrc.navy.mil/directives/forms.htm

This site has all the forms required to submit for OCS and more.

I did learn from my attempt that you should have a copy of all the information available on you to present to the CO (application, reesume, evals, other recommendation letters if allowed, PRT scores, etc) as well as several drafts of a pre-written recommendation letter. This goes for any officer you are requesting a recommendation from.

It was emphasized to me from several officers that these pre-written letters are good because the recommending officer can simply make a few specific changes and sign them, and they will not have to write something from scratch. It helps you because the letter you get shouldn't be lack-luster if you pre-wrote it. Don't be modest when you wrtie these, I was advised. The CO will change any flamboyant language they do not agree with.

Although the wonderful officers on here can certainly speak more to this point.

Hope this helps a little.

Yes, look in a copy of The Guide to Naval Writing. This is a good book to have on your shelf. You can also most likely find a copy in your admin office. I bet the Yeoman's have one stashed somewhere. Don't let them tell you they don't.

Steve,

Thanks a million!!!! I had the book on a shelf, just seemed to overlook it. For those who are in the same situation, pg. 40 has a great example.

Thanks again,
Scott

No problem. That's why the Webmaster pays me the big bucks.
