CHAPTER X
OFFICER STUDENT FITNESS REPORTS AND ENLISTED EVALUATIONS
1000. BACKGROUND. Fitness reports and evaluations on military
personnel are objective appraisals of their performance, from the
date of initial appointment until the date of separation. These
reports serve as a primary basis for selection for promotion and
duty assignment. It is recognized that "under instruction"
status does not readily lend itself to the preparation of
comprehensive performance evaluations as students must be able to
devote their entire effort to the curriculum. To this end, each
of the military services has provided specific guidance for
preparing fitness reports and evaluations on student personnel.
This guidance is further amplified here and shall be applied to
the preparation of student reports within the Naval Air Training
Command.
1001. ACTION. The Commanding Officer, Naval Aviation Schools
Command (NAVAVSCOLSCOM), shall submit "not observed" fitness
reports on student officer personnel for the period during which
student officers are attached. Subsequent to NAVAVSCOLSCOM,
fitness reports shall be prepared by the TRAWING to which the
student is attached when the student transfers. Student fitness
reports shall not be generated upon detachment of reporting
senior. Attritions shall have a "not observed" report submitted
with a brief explanation in the remarks section as to the
circumstances or reasons for attrition.
a. U.S. Navy Officers. All U.S. Navy officer student fitness
reports shall be submitted in accordance with Navy Regulations
Article 1152 and BUPERSINST 1610.10. Personal achievements such
as 'E' awards or other CNATRA training awards may be included in
the comments. Class standing may be included, but grades should
not be included except in extraordinary cases. Under unusual
circumstances, the reporting senior may wish to mark certain
traits as observed, such as tactical performance for exceptional
accomplishment. If this is done, all traits must be marked with
a grade. Training squadron commanding officers are authorized to
act as "Delegated Reporting Seniors" in accordance with
BUPERSINST 1610.10, Article B-6.
b. U.S. Marine Corps Student Naval Aviators. Fitness Reports
on U.S. Marine Corps student naval aviators (SNAs) will be
completed in the most expedient manner under the instructions and
guidance contained in MCO P1610.7E, CNATRAINST 1321.6B and
MATSGruO 1610.1.
(1) The senior marine is responsible for the
administrative preparation, completion and submission of fitness
reports for USMC SNAs.
