Online Guide to your CHIEF EVAL needs
Q1. Why does the Chief fitness report need revision?
A1. The Chief Petty Officer Evaluation (CHIEFEVAL) aligns the Navy’s expectations
of senior enlisted leaders with the way we evaluate them. For nearly two years, the
Mission, Vision and Guiding Principles have been the guidelines by which we expect
our Chiefs to operate. Those Guiding Principles have been embraced throughout
the Fleet. Now, in order to fully instill them, our Chiefs will be evaluated, ranked and
selected based on the extent to which they adhere to those Principles.
Q2. When will the new fitness reports take effect?
A2. The CHIEFEVAL will be ready for the September 2008 evaluation cycle.
MCPON’s Leadership Mess (all Fleet/Force/CMDCMs who work for Flag and
General officers) have been briefed. They all have copies of the new fitness report
and each of them have briefed their respective communities and messes. The
fitness reports will be available for download in early July.
Q3. How will the new fitness reports work within the NAVFIT 98A program?
A3. They won’t. There was no way to revise the NAVFIT program in time to use the
new fitness report. The new report will be filled out on a PDF document and
transmitted or mailed to NPC upon completion. Any command that uses the NAVFIT
program will be reminded, via message, to use the new fitrep form.
Q4. What is the extent of the changes to the fitness report?
A4. The CHIEFEVAL differs from the previous fitrep only in the performance trait
blocks. Trait average, summary average and blocks 1-32 remain unchanged and
computations will not be affected by the revision. The Guiding Principles (Deck-
plate Leadership, Institutional and Technical Expertise, Professionalism, Loyalty,
Character, Active Communication and A Sense of Heritage) will replace the
previous performance traits (Professional Expertise, Command or Organizational
Climate/Equal Opportunity, Military Bearing/Character, Teamwork, Mission
Accomplishment and Initiative, Leadership and Tactical Performance).
Q5. Equal Opportunity was a performance trait on the previous fitness
report. It doesn’t exist in the CHIEFEVAL. Is that an indication that the Navy
places less value on a diverse workplace?
A5. No. In fact, the CHIEFEVAL places greater emphasis on the importance of
Diversity than the previous version. In order to receive a 5.0 in character a Chief
Petty Officer must “seamlessly integrate Diversity into all aspects of the command.”
Deckplate Leadership, Loyalty and Professionalism also stress the importance of
positive command climate and creating equal opportunities for success.
Q6. How much training is required to ensure Navy leadership and the Navy’
s Chiefs Mess is prepared to use the CHIEFEVAL in September?
A6. The Mission, Vision and Guiding Principles have been in existence for almost
two years, have been included in selection board precepts and the CMC instruction.
Those principles have been embraced and adopted and every Chief Petty Officer is
familiar with their intent and purpose. Command Master Chiefs are responsible for
briefing the wardroom, but feedback from the officer community has been significant
since the Guiding Principles were rolled out. They’ve been in favor of it from the
beginning. The CHIEFEVAL is based exclusively on those principles so little training
is required.
Q7. Chief Petty Officers were counseled in January 2008 using the old
fitness report form. Now they will be evaluated in September using the
CHIEFEVAL. Is there a danger that some may be operating under a
conflicting set of expectations?
A7. Absolutely not. Any Chief who hasn’t aligned his/her performance with the
MVGP up to this point has been left behind. There has been no indication
whatsoever of any confusion within the Mess as to the expectations and
responsibilities of a Chief Petty Officer, that those expectations are based on the
Guiding Principles.
Q8. What else needs to be done in order to ensure new form is used this
September?
A8. Communication is now the key to the CHIEFEVAL’s success. Navy Personnel
Command has assured us that the fitness reports submitted on the PDF documents
are compatible with the systems they use administratively, so logistics is not an
issue. Now, it’s simply a matter of getting this information to the Fleet as quickly as
possible.
