Apply Boardsand FITREPS What Every Officer Should Know
FITNESS REPORTS Career Management
Fitness Reports • Your fitness report is not necessarily written for you. • Your fitness report is your CO’s opportunity to communicate with the Board. • What does the CO want the board to do with you?
What’s Important? • Leadership Grades • Command & Promotion Recommendations • Promotion Breakout • Leadership positions (CO, XO, OIC) • Rankings (#2 of 13 behind XO) • Comparison with CO’s grading average • Leadership comments (character descriptions) • Continuity (no missing fitreps)
What’s NOT SO Important? • Write-up’s of what you accomplished over the year. • Grades in areas other than leadership. • Fluffy language. • Detailed descriptions of unit mission. • Civilian accomplishments (e.g.. Boy Scout Leader, Civic Assoc Leader, etc).
Written Comments (Block 41) A recent Reporting Senior wrote: “Read this carefully…the rules force me to make him only a Must Promote. He is an Early Promote! He is rated against another O-X who I anticipate will be promoted. Joe’s turn is next. Joe would truly be number one in any other setting.”
Written Comments (Block 41) Opening: “Ranked 1 of 10 hand picked active duty officers.” Closing: “He has my strongest endorsement and recommendation for aviation and major command. In addition, he has earned my strongest possible recommendation for accelerated promotion to captain now.”
What can get you sent to the VTU? • Missing Fitreps with no explanations (write a letter to the board on why it is missing) • PRT failure • OSR anomalies with no explanation • No leadership or difficult jobs • Consistent 3.0 grades in Leadership • Pack performance with no CO recommendations • Incomplete Apply Board Submittal
What You Should Be Doing: • Discuss Fitreps with your CO. • Command early, command often. Or • Get Hard Jobs: Training Officer, XO. • Do well in hard jobs; break to the right. • The future is purple: obtain JPME. • Avoid homesteading in non-hardware units. • If you are in a VTU, find a job that supports a Gaining Command, versus a Center.
