To be useful and equitable, these comparisons must be consistent. A detailed explanation of how to record the ranking of individual members can be found in the Navy  Enlisted  Performance  Evaluation  (EVAL) Manual,  BUPERSINST  1616.9. Commands  should  develop  ranking  procedures, tailored to their needs, that emphasize uniformity and fairness. Some commands begin the ranking process by organizing   a   committee,   sometimes   called   a “performance  ranking  board.”  The  goal  of  the  ranking board is to assign a numeric position to each person whose performance evaluation ranks within the top 50 percent of a paygrade. This enlisted comparison group consists  of  all  members  of  the  same  paygrade (regardless  of  rating,  branch/class,  or  status)  who receive reports from the same reporting senior with the same  “TO”  date  on  their  eval.  All  members  in  the comparison group must be compared together in block 40 of the enlisted Performance evaluation. Members who are frocked and members who are elected for a commissioning  program  should  be  ranked  separately. Personnel with an approved Fleet Reserve or retirement date should not be ranked. Most commands have developed their own method of  ranking  their  people.  The  method  described  here  is one of many. It works well for both small and large groups.  It  is  an  equitable  system  that  allows  each individual’s  evaluation  to  be  compared  to  every  other evaluation in the same comparison group. This method is  subjective,  particularly  when  you  are  ranking  large numbers  of  people  whose  performance  you  are  not 3-13
