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!

Last evaluation he was at rock bottom, now he has begun to dig.

SFC Josh Jackson Here are a few examples.
This NCO's soldiers follow him out of sheer curiosity to see what he will do next.
This NCO started out at rock bottom and immediately started to dig.
If nothing else this NCO's performance can be used as an excellent example of what not to ever do.
Thanks for tagging me SSG James J. Palmer IV aka "JP4"

My father once received an award for his work with several different units. In the citation he was supposed to be praised for bringing together several disparate units. Due to a typo, his citation read desperate units. He thought it was far more accurate as written.

I had an OER in Afghanistan for a female Major that read "her horizontal skills solved many complicated problems".
Spell check had bitten him; he meant it to say "organizational skills".
The Colonel that wrote it about lost his mind when I pointed it out, and she had already signed as the Rated Officer.
