A filled-in DA Form 1059 example: a report on a student who completed a course

DA Form 1059 example filled out, example: a report on a student who completed a course — The example shows a report on Jane A. Sample, who completed the Sample Leader Course: Course Completion, Yes for SHARP, EO, and EEO, one rating for each of f to k, and a class standing of 4 of 30, which is inside the 20% the Commandant's List box names, so only that box is checked in Part III. It is not a referred report, so box c1 and box c2 stay blank; the form does not say whether a Rated Student signs a report that is not referred, so d1 and d2 stay blank too. The form prints four pairs of e1 and e2 boxes, and the example leaves them all blank, like the other boxes whose contents the form does not say: Military Education Level, the Phase # blanks and the two blanks of Overall Grade Point Average. The served file has no field for FROM, THRU, the APFT DATE, HEIGHT, WEIGHT or WITHIN STANDARD?, so those printed boxes stay blank in the picture; the reader writes them in by hand after printing. Four drop-down lists are blank: the three Rank lists (Part I, and the academic rater's and reviewing official's in Part IV) offer no choices in the served file, and the APFT list, whose choices are PASS, FAIL, PROFILE, Pregnant/Post Partum and No APFT, is left blank because the program that draws the example cannot set it. Component and the three email boxes are blank too (the form asks for a .gov or .mil address, and a made-up address cannot be shown as one). The signatures are made-up names, and every name, number and date in the example is made up.
