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!

Among fellow Majors during the most sparse years, we kept our sense of humor and joked among ourselves. I used to brag that I knew I was going to be promoted from Major, straight to full Colonel, because my OER said, "this officer should not see LTC."
As retirement approached, the common question was about our future after the Army. Naturally, there was always the the stale oldie WalMart greeter COA. My personal favorite, especially to O-6-to-O-8s in my Chain of Command, was, "I'm going to suck d!ck and sell pencils, until I get my self-respect back... but only until I get my self respect back!"

PO1 Michael Moe If "pier" was intentionally spelled that way, it is ten times better!

I saw one where a unit tried to give a Soldier an ARCOM for cooking more rice dishes in the field when there was a screw up in rations. New Soldier just out of IADT. What a farce, it didn’t get signed off!!

I had a platoon leader once who had something to the effect of, “Recommend move to S-Shop where he may be under constant supervision.”
He eventually lost his clearance and went away.

Best bullet comment on leadership I've ever read about a clueless NCO read "Could not lead a pack of starving wolves to fresh meat!"

How did he get to PCS with out change of rater or complete the record NCOER... I would call back to his CSM and find out why he was not rated...

MSG Robert Ford I got a feeling this is USAR or ARNG, where Soldiers get their assignments more like in the civilian world.

I always loved these two:
If his men had amoebic dysentery they wouldn't follow him into the latrine.
Or
His men would follow him anywhere.... but only out of morbid curiosity.
