NNS673. Evaluation Systems Under Review
WASHINGTON (NNS) -- The Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) has asked
the Chief of Naval Personnel, VADM Skip Bowman, to spearhead a
review of the current officer and enlisted evaluation systems.
Recommendations are due to the CNO by the end of December for
officer fitness reports, and by the end of January for enlisted
evaluations.
Some of the areas that BUPERS will be studying include:
evaluation of the competitive ranking system; evaluation of a
ranking system against a clearly specified standard; reducing the
number of grades available; and, eliminating long narratives in
favor of short declarative statements.
The same general evaluation categories now in use, i.e.,
Leadership, Equal Opportunity, Airmanship, etc., are expected to
remain unchanged.
