How are eval's graded?

[Doccaprio]

Hey all,
I wanted to know how E-5 evals are graded. I thought that they went in front of a board and were assigned a point system. Today however I was told that our DLCPO had a program that he entered the information into and that came out with a score. Any help would be great, b/c I can't seem to wrap my head around this other system.
:err: :confused:

Unless something has been unveiled that Im not aware of, Im just assuming he used NAVFIT and plugged in your 7 areas of eval and i came out with your average.

If it was about your advancement score then probably used

Nope, it's not the advancement final multiple. Definitely the eval/ Navfit 98A, definitely, definitely. I sat on the ranking board for our E-3’s. There we used a set form. You got points based on your checked boxes, you got points for college courses, non-required correspondence courses, LOA/LOC’s, warfare, community involvement, command yada yada

But, I was told that with our new DLCPO he uses a different system. Isn’t there a set ranking procedure? I couldn’t find what I needed last night in the Navy eval manual, so I turned here. Anyone in the Kaki Cadre know what kind of grading was used?

Every CO can set how he/she wants her Ranking board to be. It's her perogatve to make sure it's fair etc.

If you feel your being slighted by some new way ask your CMC if you DLCPO does not answer to your satisfaction. If he is pulling a new way out of his ass, then as Ricky told Lucy"You have some splainin to do!"

But if he is following the CO's rules then you have to go with what is being done command wide..

If you want ideas on how to improve you eval writing skills, the follow website has fairly good ideas:

Just because you do not understand how he conducts his ranking, doesn't mean their isn't a valid method in his preceived method.

I first would ask the Chief to teach you how he conducts his ranking board so you could better assist your junior personnel when writing their evals. This may give you an insight on what he is looking for, which in turn will benifit your junior personnel and even yourself.

Plus his ranking method maybe an idea you, yourself could possibly use in the future!
