There are specific reason why they are required but if does reasons don't apply to me then are they required or recommended to be there or is the intent to leave it blank if the APFT is a pass?

No but they are authorized for both failed to meet standard and if you meet the standard. I've put comments in that block if the NCO routinely scores better than a 270 and 90 points in each event, example: "Extreamly fit NCO who consistantly scores 290 or more on his AFPT."

I made sure to include:
o trained and led multi-service group to compete in Tough Mudder competition race, all personnel completed race without injury
o completed demanding half marathon, race held at 11,000 feet above sea level
If your situation warrants please feel free to borrow those bullets.

SGM (Join to see) to clarify my question further. I earned a 275 on my APFT and passed H/W, should there be bullets stating my score and or other things since I didn't max it or fail it? Or should it just be left blank due to it being "average"

SGT Flores, it seems that section could reflect achievements like 'scored 25 points above the battalion standard' and so on. Also, this area is where I've seen NCOs participation in marathons, the Bataan Death March and so on listed.

SGT Flores, thanks for providing more information. First of all, I have always made it a practice to teach my NCOs to always have a bullet on their NCOER that tells what they scored on the APFT. You earned the score why not put it on the NCOER.
The Army physical fitness patch is awarded for a Soldier scoring 270 and above on his or her APFT just as long as he or she scored 90 points in each event. So if you scored 90 points in each event, you should ask for your score to be added and the bullet that you earned the APFT patch. If this is not the case, I would still ask for the score based off of the section, platoon, company, or battalion APFT average. I know 275 isn't maxing the APFT, but it is a great start and you are on your way to doing it.
Never consider your achievements as just average, because you are comparing them to others. You did your best on that day, and now you have to do better on the next one. It took me a while to score my first 300 on the APFT, but I did it when I was a young SGT.
The more you can do to make your records look good while getting promotions points do it. This is something that I know, if a Soldier/NCO in your case is physically fit, can lead and believes in taking care of his or her Soldiers he or she will go far in the Army.
Take a some time to learn how to write a NCOER, and build rapport with your rater so when the time comes for your rating you can discuss areas of concern before your signature is required.
Don't forget to post when you score the 300.
