Requirements for Fitness Reports
Navy regulations require that records be maintained on officers which reflect their
fitness for the service and performance of duties. Fitness reports form a primary basis
for selecting officers for advanced training, specialization, duty assignment, promotion,
and command.
Meritorious Conduct
Fitness reports shall not be used to reward specific meritorious actions.
Meritorious conduct shall be mentioned or taken into account when evaluating aspects of
performance and personal traits to which it relates.
Misconduct
Fitness reports shall not be directed as punishment or used as an alternative to
the proper disposition of misconduct under the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ).
Adverse Matter
Navy Regulations, 1973, article 1110, requires that a fitness report containing
adverse matter be referred to the officer for a statement before being placed in the
official record.

How Important are FITREPS?
As mentioned earlier, fitness reports are used for all of the crucial decisions
made for a naval officer in his or her career. The quality and contents of each fitness
report depends, to a great extent, on the involvement of the officer being reported on.
Competition
Competition for all programs is getting tougher each year. It is incumbent upon
each officer to narrow the odds when strong performance and leadership are concerned. The
initiative to correctly and completely document all aspects of performance must be
demonstrated by the officer.
The type of Information
The type of information which should be included in fitness reports includes:
quality of contributions made in each billet held, extent of leadership skills, the
ability to assume increased responsibility, operational performance, qualifications
attained, courses completed, equal opportunity performance, and mentoring of junior
personnel.
