Do you believe that the Non-Commissioned Officer Evaluation System is fair and impartial to every rated NCO?

I remember when NCOER's were completed on word processors. We have come a long way since then. I will refrain from imparting my personal views on this subject until we have gotten a good discussion going.

The new EES-based NCOER that requires raters and senior raters to block-check, and limits top blocks to no more than 49% of the rated population, will go a long way to deflating over-inflated NCOERs. But it won't fix a system (Army Human Resources Management) designed essentially to promote mediocrity.

Only a truly competitive, market-based ratings and assignment system, where the best and brightest are recognized, rated, promoted, and assigned accordingly, would, and we'll never get there. See Tim Kane's "Bleeding Talent" for a proposal on how such a system could look.
