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!

A lot of these smart ass comments not only drove good people from the military, they were the definition of unprofessional.

Your comment is almost as valuable as a 2LT saying, "in my experience..."

NCOER's were a pet peeve of mine. As the CSM I reviewed every NCOER, if you slammed an NCO, I would ask for the counseling statements and if you as a rater didn't do the counseling, then the NCO got a success rating and I counseled you as the rater on your responsibilities.

sounds like his old unit wanted to get rid of him quite badly. so they make any other unit think he is the second coming.

From a California National Guard battalion circa 1994: "His company performed admirably during the Los Angeles riots under the capable leadership of his executive officer."

Considerate NCO, apologies to plants for stealing the oxygen they produce.

I’m just laughing so hard at these comments. I used to work in the Personal Center and process NCOERS and as many as I read none were funny. You would think a relief of Command would have something juicy in it but I never seen one. Now that was 1986-1988 so I’m sure much has changed. By far this post/conversation is hilarious.

The worst I ever saw was

* does not hold enough intelligence to be cannon fodder.
* could make a freshly commissioned 2Lt look like Einstein.
* has met all standards to be promoted to Mickey D's burger flipper if constantly supervised.
