What is the purpose of the CHIEFEVAL form?

The CHIEFEVAL form is specifically designed to evaluate a sailor's performance. This evaluation process is critical in the Navy as it provides a formal means of assessing an individual's capabilities, achievements, and overall contribution to the command. It serves not only to recognize outstanding performance but also to identify areas that may require improvement and to inform future career opportunities for sailors.

This evaluation contributes to decisions regarding promotions, assignments, and professional development, making it a key tool in personnel management. While forms for recording military training, documenting financial assistance, and managing personnel records serve important functions in their respective areas, they do not encapsulate the performance evaluation aspect that the CHIEFEVAL is specifically intended for.
