I was involved in a project at Coast HQ in late 70's that microfiched all officer fitness reports and had to review the records before and after fiching.

What I saw was most Ensigns got hammered on at least a couple of categories especially in the CO's written comments. By the time an officer got the 'scambled eggs' on his visor they were usually perfect.

Keep the relevant dates in mind. The system was so flawed that evaluations were essentially useless and changes had to be made. I was there. By the time you were looking at records, Kerry was long gone.
