Can a negative NCOER trigger the QMP in FY23?

Well, if you don't face a QMP.....I really hope you can turn it around come next NCOER.

It does read that way (only Remove for Cause evaluations will trigger the QMP), but if you want a definitive answer you should contact Enlisted Retirements and Separations (AHRC-EPF-M), [login to see] , DSN: 983-5465, email: [login to see] .

In my experience, it depends on who you make angry and who you make happy. I always had a good NCOER and I still got booted because of some BS. I had a tendency to do the right thing, as we were taught since basic training and THAT ALONE got me a lot of hate. But I've also seen plenty of substandard NCOs come through the ranks with a few of them receiving DID NOT MEET STANDARD on their NCOERs and they went on to get promoted to the next rank so they could F--- up another future leader's career. They were being coddled by (insert senior leader's name here) so they could keep getting whatever perks they were being given by that NCO. I didn't see it on the line as much as I saw it at Command & Staff, though. Whatever happens for you, I'm wishing you the best of luck in hopes that (1) you're able to shine a little brighter on your next NCOER and (2) that you don't get screwed over like I did.
