BLOCK  21  -RESERVE  PARTICIPATION. Indicate  the  drill  status  of  inactive  Naval  Reserve members only. Leave this block blank on active- duty, TEMAC, and annual training (blocks 6, 8, and  9)  reports. BLOCK 22 -EFFECTIVE DATE OF RATE. Unless the person is in a frocked status, enter the effective date the person was last advanced or reduced  in  paygrade  in  year/month/day  format. If the person is in a frocked status on the closing date of the report, enter the word  frocked. DO NOT ENTER DATE OF FROCKING. If the person was in a frocked status during part of the period of the report but was actually advanced on or before the closing date shown in block 17, enter  the  date  of  actual  advancement. EXAMPLE:  91  JAN16 FROCKED BLOCKS   23,   24,   25,   26   -REPORTING SENIOR’S   NAME,   RANK,   TITLE,   AND SOCIAL   SECURITY   NUMBER   (SSN). Normally,  the  command’s  administration  office will fill in these blocks; therefore, you will not normally have to fill them in on the rough evalua- tion report. If required to fill in these blocks, enter the  following  information: BLOCK  23  -Enter  the  reporting  senior’s name (last and initials). BLOCK  24  -Enter  the  reporting  senior’s rank. BLOCK  25  -Enter  the  reporting  senior’s title. BLOCK  26  -Enter  the  reporting  senior’s social  security  number. BLOCKS  27  THROUGH  40- EVALUATION   SECTION. Enter  an  X in  one,  and  only  one,  of  the columns  for  each  trait.  (See  the  sample  worksheet in  NAVMILPERSCOMINST  1616.1A.)  The evaluation  section,  in  combination  with  the evaluation comments section (block 56), is the most  important  part  of  the  evaluation  report. Here,  as  the  reporting  supervisor,  you  assess  the member’s performance in certain key areas. Guided  by  the  standard,  assign  a  grade  in  each trait.  If  the  member  doesn’t  demonstrate performance in an evaluation trait area, a mark in the Not Observed column for that trait is appropriate. As  a  reporting  supervisor,  temper  your standards  by  comparing  the  person’s  performance against others you have known of the same rate. For a person not assigned the normal duties of his  or  her  rate  or  rating,  compare  that  person’s performance  against  others  of  the  same  paygrade performing  similar  duties.  For  example,  compare the  performance  of  a  BM1  assigned  duty  normally associated  with  his  or  her  rate  against  the performance of other BM1s, If that BM1 is an instructor,  compare  his  or  her  performance against the performance of other petty officers first class also serving as instructors, regardless of the other instructors’ ratings. Don’t confuse this comparison with block 40 (Summary). Block 40 is the number of personnel in the member’s paygrade rated in each overall area in block 39. The figures in block 40 will equal the total of all personnel  in  the  member’s  paygrade  evaluated, regardless of rating. Try to mark each trait objectively.  Avoid  the  tendency  to  assign  the  same mark  in  all  evaluation  areas  based  on  an overriding influence of a specific trait. If  a  Totally  Not  Observed  report  is  called  for, complete it in the following manner: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Complete blocks 1 through 26 as previously prescribed. Leave  blocks  27  through  38  blank.  Enter an  X  in  the  NOT  OBS  (not  observed) column of block 39 only. Leave block 40 (Summary) blank. Leave  blocks  41  through  43  (Advancement Recommendation)   blank. Complete blocks 44 through 55 as pre- scribed  for  those  blocks. In  block  56  (Evaluation  Comments),  give the  reason  for  the  Not  Observed  report;  for example,  “Petty  Officer has been on board for less than 90 days. ” BLOCK   27   -MILITARY   KNOWLEDGE/ PERFORMANCE.   Evaluate   the   person’s knowledge  of  military  customs  and  watch- standing duties and knowledge of, and contribu- tion  to,  the  command’s  mission;  responsibilities within the chain of command; and his or her level of  performance  in  these  areas. BLOCK   28   -RATING   KNOWLEDGE/ PERFORMANCE.  Assess  the  member’s knowledge  of  and  level  of  performance  of  his  or her  job-related  duties,  application  of  technical  and 2-22
