FitRep SOP

Standard Operating Procedure 100-115

Purpose: This SOP is to outline the procedures related to the correct use of the “observed Fitness Report” now required for all Marines.

Application: This SOP applies to all Marines who are Squad Leaders or above attached to the 13th Battalion, 37th Regiment.

General:
a. Fitness Reports

(1) Will be filled out within once every month or when a member is transferred out of one squad to another etc.

b. All Squad Leaders

(1) Will fill out a Fitness Report sheet in accordance with the instructions on the sheet on all members of their squad.

(2) Concur, not concur, or state unobserved on EVERY Fitness Report in accordance to Section Four of the Fitness Reports.

e. The Fitness Report

(1) Is used to determine promotions by requiring each Marine to have a minimum of TWO observed Fitness Reports in grade to be promoted.

(2) Is used to determine seniority, as the series of Fitness Reports is an accurate reflection of time dedicated to the “Band of Marines.”

(3) Is an easy to understand method for the Company Commander to keep abreast of the development of his Company, and to correct problems before they affect the company in a negative manner.

(4) Does NOT force a promotion, but makes the Marine eligible for promotion.

(5) Has extensive instructions on the form itself, but if unclear contact Second Lieutenant Winter.
