New CHIEFEVAL Core Message
In September 2006, the Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy introduced his Mission,
Vision and Guiding Principles for the Navy’s Chiefs Mess. The intent was to re-enforce the
expectation of Chief Petty Officers as Deckplate Leaders. Over the course of 18 months,
the Mess and the rest of the Navy have recognized the Guiding Principles as the standard
by which we should be evaluating Chief Petty Officers; and it established a baseline of
expectations.
Since their introduction to the Fleet, the Guiding Principles have been included in Chief’s
Mess Training, Chief Selectee Training, Selection Board precepts for E7-E9, the
Command Master Chief instruction and the Senior Enlisted Academy curriculum.
The revised Chief Petty Officer Evaluation (CHIEFEVAL) aligns the Navy’s expectations of
senior enlisted leaders with the way they should be evaluated.
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).
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.
NAVFIT 98A can not be reprogrammed in time for use in the September 2008 evaluation
cycle. Therefore, commands will be asked to take specific steps to (a) evaluate their
Chiefs using the CHIEFEVAL and (b) ensure reports forwarded to NPC are done so with
no missing data. Step by step instructions will be sent via NAVADMIN.
