Each person should be given the opportunity to  submit  information  the  member  believes  should be  included  in  the  evaluation  report.  Personnel being  evaluated  should  receive  an  Enlisted Performance  Evaluation  Report—Individual Input form, shown in figure 2-10. This form, often referred to as the “brag sheet, ” allows personnel to make specific inputs to the evaluator. As a supervisor and an evaluator, establish a deadline for submission of the brag sheet to ensure you  receive  all  information  in  time  to  include  it on  the  performance  evaluation  report.  The  brag sheet may contain any factual information the person  thinks  is  appropriate.  However,  as  the reporting  senior,  you  will  decide  what  information the final evaluation report will contain. The instruction covering the Enlisted Perfor- mance  Evaluation  Report  requires  commands  to fully advise all members of their right to redress (to seek correction) and to provide access to reference   material   as   appropriate.   Navy Regulations, Uniform Code of Military Justice, Military  Personnel  Manual  (MILPERSMAN), and  other  directives  contain  information  regarding individual  rights.  While  commanding  officers  may delegate  authority  to  sign  certain  enlisted performance  evaluations,  they  are  responsible  for properly  submitting  evaluation  reports;  they  may not  delegate  that  responsibility. Report  Development Although you only have to submit evaluation reports on an annual basis, you should develop information  for  these  reports  on  a  daily  basis. Leave nothing to the chance of memory. Develop an  organized  method  of  gathering  enough  infor- mation  on  which  to  base  a  thorough  and  accurate evaluation of a person’s performance. When preparing the evaluation report, you can refer to that information for significant facts about the person  instead  of  relying  on  your  memory. Referring to that information also ensures the development of a factual report. Keep a record of command operations and of how well the division  or  unit  performed  as  a  whole  throughout the period of evaluation. You may find that information helpful in developing individual reports. Continuity Enlisted  performance  evaluations  should maintain  day-to-day  continuity  beginning  with  the day  following  a  person’s  detachment  from  recruit training. When a person is reporting to active duty for  other  than  recruit  training,  begin  the evaluation  period  the  day  the  person  begins  travel to  the  duty  station.  When  evaluating  personnel with  broken  service,  cover  periods  of  duty involving their reoutfitting. Also cover periods of time  when  the  member  was  not  physically  present at the command, such as leave and travel time before  reporting  aboard,  while  attending  school, or while on TAD to the barracks. Such periods must  be  shown  in  either  block  54  (Duties  and Responsibilities) for TAD periods or block 55 (Special Achievements) for schools, as appro- priate.  The  requirement  for  continuity  ends  when the  member  is  discharged  without  immediate reenlistment,  retires,  transfers  to  Fleet  Reserve, or  is  released  from  active  duty  to  an  inactive- standby   status. Special  reports  submitted  to  document superior   or   substandard   performance   and concurrent  reports  may  or  may  not  satisfy continuity  requirements,  depending  on  the circumstances  involved.  For  example:  YN1  Walter T. Door, assigned to USS  Bluewater (DDG 00), receives an annual report on 30 November 1990. On 8 April 1991, he was selected as sailor-of-the- quarter  and  received  a  special  performance evaluation for the period 1 January 1991 to 30 March  1991.  The  annual  report,  due  30  November 1991,  should  have  maintained  evaluation  con- tinuity  by  covering  the  period  1  December  1990 to 30 November 1991. On the other hand, AT1 John A. Doe, assigned to VA-00, received an annual  report  on  30  November  1990.  On  1 December 1990, he was assigned TAD to AIMD, NAS  Back  Yard.  On  30  November  1991,  AIMD, NAS Back Yard, gave AT1 Doe a concurrent annual  report,    which  covered  the  period  1 December 1990 to 30 November 1991. Since this concurrent report maintained continuity in his performance  evaluation  reports,  no  other  report was required  if the  regular  reporting  senior adopted  the  report  as  a  regular  report. Other Than Normal Evaluation Categories You  may  submit  enlisted  performance  evalua- tions for reasons other than the normal require- ment for an annual report, depending on the circumstances  of  the  evaluation  period.  Newly reported  personnel,  personnel  under  instruction at schools, and persons awaiting disciplinary action are some of the people included in other than  normal  evaluation  categories. 2-13
