Language for Your FITREPs from the FY25 Promotion Board Precept
One of my most popular posts of all time remains a 2016 deconstruction of the promotion board precept and LCDR convening order to find language to use in your fitness reports (FITREPs). As the FY25 promotion boards kick off, here is the language that I think could be useful in the FY25 promotion board precept, which is at the bottom of this post:
Paragraph 3. b.
“a broad spectrum of experiences, backgrounds, and perspectives”
“innovative and creative leaders”
“a mindset of continuous self-improvement”
“a desire to ‘Get Real, Get Better’ every day”
“show boldness”
“ability to think creatively, challenge assumptions, and take well-calculated risks to better prepare our Navy to win in combat”
Paragraph 4
“progressed in billet complexity, professional development, and leadership responsibility”
Paragraph 5. b.
“excelled in their knowledge of the politico-military affairs, U.S. strategic interests in the Indo-Pacific region, and operational contingency planning for Indo-Pacific was plans”
Appendix B. 1. c. 7.
“a good example of virtue, honor, patriotism, and subordination”
“to promote and safeguard the morale, the physical well-being, and the general welfare of the officers and enlisted persons under their command or charge”
Here is the full precept:
