Answer to FAQ #2: While attending the Naval Postgraduate School as an in-resident student, you receive nonobserved, academic fitness reports for all reporting occasions (annual, grade change, transfer, or semi-annual for
lieutenants). Your height, weight and PFT will be recorded and additional comments entered in Section-I for things
like awards you received, noteworthy PFT performance (scoring 285 or better on the PFT), GPA, volunteer work,
and/or participation in student projects or critical research. We are now using the Automated Performance Evaluation
System (A-PES) on Marine Online (MOL) to complete fitness reports. The onus is on YOU, the Marine Reported On

Block B., Billet Description (as directed above) up to a total of 1232 characters of text. If you go beyond the maximum
characters allowed in Block B., Billet Description, you may continue providing additional suggested Section-I

beyond the maximum characters allowed in Block C., do NOT continue into Blocks D. or F. These do NOT carry over
when I select "create fitness report from MROW." In the rare case where an addendum page is needed to include all
of your Section-I comments, send the suggested text to me via email. Here is an example commentary for Section -I:



comments:
Sect A, Item 5b: This is a not observed academic report.
Sect A, Item 6a: Outstanding performance on the semiannual PFT scoring 295.
Additional comments:

SNO has attained a 3.93 GPA after completing (X) of his/her (Y) academic quarters in the NPS Information
Technology Management curriculum.
SNO volunteered to be part of the Coalition Operating Area Surveillance & Targeting System (COASTS)
team, a Naval Postgraduate School research program. This commitment required participation in numerous
field exercises and planning exercises in Monterey, California and Thailand from January to May of
2005. The COASTS project utilizes expeditionary wireless local area network (WLAN) technologies to fuse
and display information from air and ground sensors in a real-time, tactical, coalition-enabled command and

control center over 100 miles away. This type of cutting edge expeditionary technology is something that
could be utilized by the Marine Corps in implementing the concept of distributed operations.
Selected as the Information Technology Management curriculum representative to the NPS President's
Student Council (PSC). The PSC inquires into the academic, administrative, and quality of life issues
affecting NPS students and provides solutions to those issues.
Notes:




PFT score 285 or higher is commendatory; Block 6a is checked and the following directed comment will be
inlcuded in Section I: "Sect A, Item 6a: Superior performance on the PFT scoring (your PFT score inserted
here)."
For Marines who are over max weight but within allowable percentage body fat with first class PFT, the
following directed comment will be included in Section I: "Sect A, Item 8f: MRO meets the Physical
Performance Evaluation criteria in accordance with MCO P6100.12 and is within standards."
For Grade Change (GC) fitness reports, the report covers the period from your last report up to the date of
your promotion. Therefore, your Grade in block A.1.e. is the rank you are being promoted from and the Date
of Rank (DOR) in block A.1.f. is the date you were promoted to that grade. For example, if you were
promoted to captain on 20010501 and getting promoted to major on 20060101, you would enter the grade
'CAPT' in block A.1.e. and you would enter the date you pinned on CAPT in block A.1.f. '20010501.'
