The evaluation must:oReflect an assessment of performance of assigned duties and responsibilities against anunderstood set of requirements, individual capacity; and professional character.oFocus on observed individual performance during a designated period.oReport fact and the reporting official's objective judgments based on Marine Corps standards, norconjecture.oEnsure narrative portions of the evaluation are clear in their meaning and free of ambiguities andinnuendoes.Preventing Inflation.Countering inflation begins with the reporting officials, specifically thereporting senior (RS) and reviewing officer (RO), who must accurately report a Marine'sperformance.oThe design intent of the fitness report is co limit the ability of RSs to unjustifiably inflate aMarines performance.oReports must be based on a Marine's performance versus sociability. Reporting officials caninadvertently render these controls ineffective by preparing and submitting fimess reports that failto adhere to both the letter and the spirit of the PES Manual.Timely Receipt.Timely receipt of fimess reports by Headquarters Marine Corps (HQMC) ensurescomplete and accurate updates of Marines' official military personnel files (OMPFs).Fitness reportsare due within 30 days of the end of the repor ting period for normal reports or 60 days for

The fitness report is a vital portion of a Marine'sOMPFheld at HQMC by MMRP. The fitness report is neither a communication co, nor a counselingdocument for, the Marine. General Charles Krulak, 31st Commandant of the Marine Corps, provided thefollowing guidance.The completed fitness report is the most important information component in manpowermanagement It is the primary means of evaluating a Marine's performance.
