What format is used for entering information in the narrative blocks of FITREPs and EVALs?

Information in the narrative blocks of FITREPs and EVALs is entered using all capital letters. This practice helps to ensure clarity and uniformity, making it easier for reviewers to read and process the information quickly. Employing all caps minimizes the chance of misinterpretation of letters and words, which is particularly important in formal evaluations where precision is essential. Additionally, all caps can draw attention to critical points raised in the narrative, highlighting the achievements and performance of the individual being evaluated.

Using standard font or lowercase may lead to ambiguity or difficulty in reading, while italicized text generally serves specific purposes, such as emphasizing particular words or phrases. However, it is not the standard for the entire narrative block in these official reports. Thus, the standard for entering information in FITREPs and EVALs is to utilize all capital letters.
