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!

I had one that read:
o broke the company record for the post-APFT breathalyzer event.
Honestly, he threw up so much I wasn't even mad.

I wrote a joke EER for my battery driver's final evaluation back when they still had EERs. Unfortunately we were in Graf at the time and I was on a firing point when he arrived to out process. He was given the joke EER and then later he got the real one but he got such a kick out of the fake one that he processed out of the Army with it and left the real one behind on my field desk:
- Sleeps well without supervision
- His name has become synonymous and interchangeable with the term "sham artist"
- Based on his unparalleled ability to disappear and avoid work, would best serve teaching escape and evasion techniques.
- Could pee on command
- His recruiter did a disservice to both him and the Army
- Chosen as a driver largely for the entertainment value and certainly not because of his driving skills.
And two clever comments I have saw on some lieutenant's OERs in the late 70s "on occasion, this LT made a total asset of himself" and "of all the LTs I have rated, he is definitely one."

I usually refrained from writing them on evals and wrote them on counseling to back the eval. I once wrote of an LT ; "I would rather not have this officer follow me into combat".

"This officer is destined to go through life pushing on pull doors and pulling on push doors."

*tongue-in-cheek comments follow* NOT one's I would write THESE ARE NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY....(trust me I am sure there are people that WOULD take these seriously)
*Can circulate blood to brain
*Can stand AND sit without supervision
*Can blink both eyes effectively
*Is able to dress himself (occasionally)
*Is able to run in place
*Is able to run his/her mouth without being told to do so
*Consistantly arrives late to formation without being told to do so
*Consistantly passes the buck and accepts NO responsibility for own actions
how are those?

These are all hilarious examples of "negative" bullet comments. One of the better ones I saw (for an NCO who was unquestionably stellar) was a Senior Rater Bullet that read, "In addition to his [already] unmatchable leadership skills, he rides a totally bad ass Harley Davidson."

Had a senior rather write on a Cpt's OER that if he could put a lower block he would.
