Who conducts the “Officer” training jackets review?

The "Officer" training jackets review is conducted by officers in the rank of OX (which refers to an Officer rank, typically O-6 and above such as Captain or Navy equivalent). This level of seniority is required to ensure that the review process is carried out by individuals who have a comprehensive understanding of the qualifications and expectations of officer training. The higher rank indicates a level of experience and perspective necessary for accurately assessing the training and performance records of officers.

Conducting such reviews demands a deep familiarity with the standards and requirements for officers in the Navy, which is characteristic of those who have attained higher officer designations. This ensures that the evaluations are not only thorough but also align with the strategic vision and leadership benchmarks defined by higher authorities within the Navy. Thus, having this responsibility assigned to OX or higher ranks facilitates a rigorous and informed approach to officer developmental assessments.
