How long do members have the right to submit statements concerning their performance evaluation/fitness reports?

Members have the right to submit statements concerning their performance evaluation or fitness reports for a period of 2 years. This guideline ensures that Marines have ample opportunity to reflect on their evaluations and provide input regarding their performance. It supports a culture of transparency and accountability within the Marine Corps, allowing individuals to address any discrepancies or provide additional context that may not have been initially considered during the evaluation process. This timeframe balances the need for timely performance assessments with the right of service members to advocate for themselves after receiving their evaluations.
