FMF 104 Administrative Fundamentals Flashcards
Reporting Senior
CO and OIC are reporting seniors by virtue of their command authority.
Delegated Reporting Senior
-An actual transfer of that authority and not merely an authorization to sign “by direction”.
-Delegation is held to the highest level consistent with effective observation of performance and CO’s oversight responsibilities are carefully defined.
Enlisted reporting seniors
-Enlisted OIC in the grade of E9 & civilians in command positions GS9-GS12 may sign on reports for E5 and below.
-CPO or SCPO sign on E4 and below only.
-GS13 or equivalent sign E1-E9.
Raters and Senior Raters
-E6 and below require the signatures of a rater and senior rater as well as the reporting senior.
-Rater for E1-E4 can be E6 or civilian.
-E5-E6 the rater should be CPO or military/civilian supervisor who is E7 equivalent or higher.
-Senior rater will be in the member’s division officer or department head. The senior rater may be omitted where the reporting senior is the rater’s immediate supervisor.
3 Types of Reports
Regular, Concurrent, Operational Commanders
Regular Report
-Foundation of the performance record and submitted periodically.
-Must cover day to day, all Naval service on active duty or drilling reserve programs.
Concurrent Reports
-Significant perofrmance in an additional duty or temporary additional duty status.
-Optional and may not be submitted by anyone in the regular reporting senior’s direct chain of command.
-Countersigned by regular reporting senior.
Operational Commanders report
-Only be submitted on COs or OICs by operational commanders who are not also their regular reporting senior.
Guidance on trait grades
5.0 - Above standards and notable for its exemplary or leadership quality.
1.0- Generally poor performance, which is not improving or unsatisfactory performance with respect to a single standard.
2.0 to 4.0- where a majority of sailors and officers are.
-“Two blocking” is detrimental for 2 reasons. First, reporting senior’s summary group and cumulative trait grade averages will be available to retailers and selection boards for comparison purposes. Second, it will be difficult for the reporting senior to allocate promotion recommendations if everyone’s trait grades are the same.
Style and Content
Space is limited, avoid preambles and get to the point. DO NOT use puffed-up adjectives, use factual writing and know bullet style is preferred.
Types of Naval Cirrespondences
Standard: Used to correspond officially with addresses in DOD or writing to addresses outside the DOD IF they adopted this format.
Endorsements: A letter transmitted “Via” your activity, mostly used for transmitting correspondence through the chain of command.
Memos: An informal way to correspond within an activity or between DON activities.
