Hello, my people! I was recently asked to provide input on an NCOER we're writing for an E-6 who recently transferred to our shop. His losing unit did not write him an outgoing NCOER, so of course it falls on us to pick up the pieces.

The losing unit sang his praises, offering gushing adoration for this guy. But when we pressed them for bullets, they were unable to come up with anything concrete. Their failure to point to specific accomplishments more or less matches our observation of him.

He's a guy that would probably do well if we still had SP6 as a rank. So when my counterpart (his new rater) asked for bullets, this was my tongue-in-cheek reply:

* Can successfully inhale and exhale in sequence without supervision
* Routinely laces boots without causing loss of circulation to feet
* Surfs social media on his cellphone better than any other E-6 I've observed
* Maintains steady temperature in whatever chair he is occupying

So I thought I'd throw this topic out to all of you. Any humorous evaluation comments you've seen, or wish you could've included in writing one? Please share!

Best comment I ever read on a performance review looked like this:

"There is no National emergency, real or imagined, that merits retention of this member."

One LT, 17 NCOs, and dozens of junior soldiers I've encountered would fit this comment.

This is real... I read them... Not mine luckily... Both LTs...

1. Attempts to lead by example, and often succeeds.

2. This officer should consider a management position in the fast food industry.

Both left the Army as LTs...

SPC Steven Nihipali - He was actually an older SPC. So not much younger than the CO.

After serving 2 years at Travis AFB in California, I was volunteered to go to Budget school in Texas. After graduation I was transferred to Hamilton AFB, also in California. When I came up for promotion it was discovered I had no performance evaluations for 2 1/2 years. So my commander told me to write my own evaluations - all 7 of them. I must have written good ones because I got promoted. I think it was harder to write my own rather than someone else's. NOTE: There is no curse words in my story. I always told people who cursed there are over 160,000 words in the dictionary, pick one.

I hated doing my own evaluations both army and civilian. Always wondered if I was being to good or to bad on myself.

With some of the NCOs I've experienced during my before AND after earned my chevrons, these comments would be perfect to describe them.
