Are you supposed to receive quarterly counselings prior to your NCOER?

My platoon sergeant has not given me a single counseling since I have been under her for a year now. I have no idea what she will be putting on my NCOER because she doesn’t say much to me or any of the other NCOs about our leadership. If she gives me a bad NCOER is there any way to rebuttal it? I have heard you are supposed to get quarterly counseling’s to annotate your progress.

As an NCO you NEED to get into the regulation and DA Pam on evaluations. Your evaluations are the bread and butter of your future promotions. You need to understand when and how you are supposed to be rated. As for your question, you can't receive a negative NCOER without being formally counseled for whatever you did. The NCOER for a SGT is pretty forgiving, it just says that you did or did noteet the standard. Your NCOERs at higher grades are more detailed and you are rated on how well you did.

Thank you! I have been reading through the regulation but I have gotten some mixed answers as well from other NCOs so I wanted to come here and ask.

The rater is only doing themselves a disservice by not doing the counselings. Missed opportunities and lack of documentation for bullet points.
