Early Promote Evaluation!
In the Navy you get evaluated based on your work performance, leadership,military bearing, qualifications, awards, fitness levels, and overall usefulness around the shop. The one who stands out the most will get an early promote evaluation.
You will first write a Brag Sheet about yourself. A brag sheet gives you the opportunity to write down any and everything you can to make yourself stand out among the other sailors in your rank. Be sure to make your brag sheet as upbeat and unique as possible because you will literally be competing against other people for that early promote evaluation.
You can list anything mentioned above, as well as volunteer work, hobbies, etc.
With that brag sheet your LPO (Leading Petty Officer/Supervisor) will use that information to write up an evaluation report.
Based on your brag sheet and work performance, your will receive one of six possible recommendations:
NOB: Is typically if you haven't been at your command long enough. This is for people who have recently checked in. If you are coming from a different command i.e. you re-enlisted, you will get a transfer evaluation from your previous command.
SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS: If you have gotten in trouble, have the "don't care" attitude. Your LPO must clarify why you were given this in the comments section of the eval form.
PROGRESSING: You're not where they want you to be yet but you are making progress
PROMOTABLE: You are doing good but still room for improvement
MUST PROMOTE: You are one of the best ones out there. Sometimes it will be close between you and another person for the Early Promote Evaluation. If you don't include every detail as why you are a squared away Sailor you may end up getting a must promote and not the EP.
EARLY PROMOTE: You are exceeding your expectations of your job duties and stand out the most among all of others in the same rank.
I was lucky enough to get an early promote evaluation on my last eval. I used this site as one of my hobbies which helped me out a lot. I am also Plane Captain qualified and received 2 awards: Sailor of the Month and Sailor of the Quarter.
:Update: For the year 2009 I recieved Sailor of the Month two times and Sailor of the Quarter two times. which led me to getting Bluejacket of the Year for 2009! With that I got a NAM (Navy Achievement Medal).
