An ongoing question dating before I came in the Navy is how to stand out on your enlisted evaluations.
Sailors can excel on enlisted evaluations by excelling in the essential elements of demanding jobs.
Every sailor in the Navy should concentrate on meeting two essential elements of your job. The first is how well you accomplish or contribute to the command and the Navy meeting their missions. The second is how well you provide the opportunity, direction and role modeling necessary for sailors to grow and develop. This is what we as sailors are all about and sailors' evaluations must accurately comment on both of these elements. Evals should also document willingness to take the hard jobs in the Navy demanding the most sacrifice.
