This is always a tough one do you stay the course like this or do you rate the NCO in the duty position they are slotted for but not working in?</span></font>

You need to get out of AR 623-3 and get into DA PAM 623-3 this is where most of your answers are pertaining to how or what to fill out on the NCOER. This is from Para. 3-5 table 3-3 of DA PAM 623-3:
NCOER part III: block a—Principal Duty Title
Action required: Enter principal duty title that matches the unit force management document or that most accurately reflects actual duties performed.
Ultimately, you the 1SG should determine how they are rated. I try to utilize what best benefits the Soldier. If they are filling the position of Commander's Gunner and doing an additional duty of training room NCO that is how I annotate it. If they are only doing the duties as the Chemical NCO (normally an additional duty), then that I will rate them as that. Do not allow your raters to make up duty positions. The common one I see is the Company trying to rate a guy as a HQ PSG (11B40 position) when he is filling the MTOE slot of Company MG (11B30 position). They cannot make up duty positions when there is a duty position they are filling a MTOE duty position, but we all know there are the exceptions where a guy only fills a position that would normally just be an additional duty.

What happens when a NCO is slotted in a position they do not work in? Our OPS NCO is slotted as a nurse in the OR. He is not a nurse nor works in the OR.
How about the Commanders Driver? There's not a slot for him and he is a lab tech. So he is slotted in the lab but hasn't seen a drop of blood in over a year.

Yea ours doesnt and our CSM is furious about it especially since our new MTOE just came out and it still doesnt have it.

All valid points but slotting them in their MTOE position while not actually working in that position paints a confusing picture to board members? Particularly for those branches that require 12-36 months of rated time in those positions.

NCOs are rated in their slotted (MTOE or TDA) positions.<br><br>Additional Duties can be annotated in the 'Appointed Duties' section.
