 Just a VERY basic reference. For novice writers. December 1, 2006

ANY leader who uses this to find ways to describe their sailors has no business writing their evals. These "phrases" are tired and unoriginal; they are fluff, unsubstantial, non-quantitative, and demonstrate lack of vocabulary, ability to construct meaningful sentences, and lack of creative writing ability. It's a moderate "reference" for certain types of guidelines as far as form, or certain criteria if you are a novice eval/fitrep writer. If you can't spell, don't know the difference between LEAD and LED (as in past tense leadership), and fill your sentences with far too many prepositions, use this to de-junk your writing, to find a concise way to just get to the point. Any board in the Navy will recognize these meaningless "BLURBS" and it will diminish the credibility and weight of the block 43 write up. 20+ years of evals/and fitreps and still writing!

If you are looking for a book to help your Sailors to get promoted, use the Guide to Naval Writing! This book will not do it, period!
If you can't write, this won't help you! December 18, 2001

This is another of the "pick a phrase from column A" books that makes awards and evals so difficult to wade through. The same trite phrases we've all seen, like "meticulous attenion to detail..." and "impressive military bearing-- consistently outstanding in PRT".
The boards know you just picked sentences out of this book-- if you write evals with it, you do yourself and your troops a disservice.
Its sole use is as a thesaurus, when you just can't find another way to say "Outstanding".
