CHIEFEVAL Talking Points

The CHIEFEVAL aligns the Chief Petty Officer evaluations with their published
expectations and priorities.  It re-enforces the Chief Petty Officer Mission, Vision and
Guiding Principles and makes clear the roles and responsibilities of a Chief Petty Officer.
There will be no blurring of the lines between Chiefs and Officers.

The MVGP were developed in September 2006 and have been accepted as policy for
CPO guidelines of performance and conduct.  They have been ingrained in the Fleet
through inclusion in all formal training, the Senior Enlisted Academy curriculum, the
Command Master Chief Instruction and selection board precepts.

The CHIEFEVAL form and the FITREP form are identical except for the Performance Traits
(Blocks 33-39). The CHIEFEVAL performance traits mirror the CNO approved Chief Petty
Officer Guiding Principles.  The CHIEFEVAL performance traits are Deck-plate
Leadership, Institutional and Technical Expertise, Professionalism, Loyalty, Character,
Active Communication and A Sense of Heritage.  

Aligning the CPO fitness reports with the Guiding Principles matches strategy to policy.  
Once the revised fitness reports are being used, expectations, evaluations and criteria
used by selection boards will be in alignment.

NAVFIT 98A will not be used to complete the revised CHIEFEVAL.  PDF documents will
be available for download at DirectLine and the NPC website.
