For how long are goal recap sheets retained on file?

Goal recap sheets are retained on file for a duration that includes the current year plus two additional years. This policy is essential for maintaining an organized and systematic approach to tracking progress and performance over time. By retaining these documents for this specified period, the Navy ensures that recruiters have access to important historical data that may assist in evaluating trends, preparing for audits, and enhancing recruiting strategies.

This retention period also aligns with general record-keeping practices, where maintaining sufficient data allows for informed decision-making while also ensuring that outdated information is periodically pruned from active files to streamline processes. Keeping records for the current plus two years strikes a balance between having enough information to review past performance and minimizing the retention of unnecessary records.
