SUBJ/REVISED PROCEDURES FOR PREPARING PERIODIC LTJG FITREPS//
 
RMKS/1.  THE NAVY'S FITNESS REPORT SOFTWARE, NAVFIT 98A, WILL NOT
RECOGNIZE LEAP YEAR 04FEB29 AS A VALID PERIODIC ENDING DATE IN BLOCK
15 FOR REGULAR, CONCURRENT, OR CONCURRENT/REGULAR LTJG FITREPS.  THE
PROGRAM WILL EITHER CREATE A RUN TIME ERROR AND TERMINATE THE USER'S
SESSION WITHOUT SAVING DATA, OR THE ENDING DATE IN BLOCK 15 WILL
DEFAULT TO 04FEB28, EFFECTIVELY CAUSING A ONE-DAY FITREP CONTINUITY
GAP IN THE PERMANENT RECORD.
 
2.  TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM, NAVFIT 98A USERS PREPARING 2004 PERIODIC
LTJG FITREPS MUST TAKE THE FOLLOWING ACTION PRIOR TO SUBMISSION TO
COMNAVPERSCOM:
     A.  PROCESSING INSTRUCTIONS:
         (1) AFTER CREATING THE FITREP, VALIDATE THE REPORT AND
CORRECT ALL VALIDATION ERRORS.  (BLOCK 15 (TO DATE) WILL DEFAULT TO
04FEB28.)
         (2) CHANGE BLK 15 TO READ 04FEB29.
         (3) CLICK FILE ON THE TOOLBAR AND SAVE FITREP.  (DATE WILL
REMAIN 04FEB29.)
         (4) DO NOT REVALIDATE THE REPORT AS IT WILL AGAIN DEFAULT
TO 04FEB28.
         (5) PRINT REPORT.
         (6) CLICK FILE TO CREATE THE NEXT REPORT OR CLOSE IF NO
OTHER REPORTS ARE IN THE SUMMARY GROUP.
 
3.  EVERY EFFORT SHOULD BE MADE TO SUBMIT THESE REPORTS WITH THE
CORRECT DATE, BUT IF A REPORT IS RECIEVED WITH AN INCORRECT DATE,
COMNAVPERSCOM WILL CHANGE THE DATE TO 04FEB29.
