The USMC FitRep (Fitness Report) Average is a calculation used to determine a Marine's average score across various performance categories in their fitness report. It provides a quantitative measure of overall performance evaluation.
The calculator uses the simple average formula:
Explanation: The calculator sums all the marks entered and divides by the number of marks to produce the average score.
Details: The FitRep average is crucial for promotion boards to compare Marines' performance. It provides a standardized metric for evaluation across different reporting seniors and units.
Tips: Enter all your marks separated by commas (e.g., "4.5, 4.0, 4.5, 5.0"). The calculator will ignore any non-numeric values in the input.
Q1: What is the range for FitRep marks?
A: Typically, marks range from 1.0 to 5.0, with 4.0 being "meeting standards" and higher scores indicating superior performance.
Q2: How many categories are typically evaluated?
A: This varies but usually includes 5-10 categories covering professional performance, leadership, and military bearing.
Q3: How is the average used in promotion boards?
A: Promotion boards use the average as one quantitative measure to compare Marines, along with qualitative assessments and other factors.
Q4: Should I include the reporting senior's comments?
A: No, this calculator only processes the numerical marks. Comments are evaluated separately in the promotion process.
Q5: What's considered a competitive average?
A: Competitive averages vary by rank and MOS, but generally 4.5+ is considered strong for promotion consideration.
