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!

The army used to have a double standard. I got caught up in it when I enlisted in the Army after a 4yr hitch in the Marine Corp. I went from E-3 to E-5 in 13 months. Sometimes I was an NCO at other times I was a flunkie. Whatever The moment called for. I hated it. I wonder if that's part of the reason they done away with Sp/5 and above. The Army must figure that not everyone can be a leader because they still have SP/4,s. I never seen a rank above SP/6 and very few of them. . In the Marine Corp I was an NCO. Cpl. E-4 I was a squad leader. Although I was a SP/5 I felt like I had been demoted. I went to the NCO. school at Ft. Knox as a SP/5 and with 3 months left in Vietnam the offered me 2nd Lt. if I would stay in country another year. I had been married for 8 months, I said no thanks and went home. Semper Fi.

There are some humorous ones to be sure, but seriously, I always thought that humor, sarcasm or vindictive words reflected poorly on the rating chain, especially the SR rather.
It’s a professional document. If the rater and rating chain failed to counsel and document shortcomings, then the problem lies with them.....no amount of smarta$& remarks make any of that failure of leadership look ok.

Early on, as a Squad Leader, I had passed word down for all the eligible SPCs to hand-jam some bullet comments on paper to assist their (mostly newLY-promoted) SGTs so they could work on the SPC/CPL Evals. This was before everything had to be done via the one sort-of-working computer we had. Our local Spec-Four Mafia Boss sent his back reading only one line, in large print to fill the page. "ALL HE DOES IS WIN!!"

Civilian life, but one of my (nuclear security) LT's did the 3 month eval on a newbie S/O and said " XXX would need 3 weeks additional training to perform the duties of a traffic cone."

Not actually an NCOER bullet, but rather a quarterly counseling for an Enlisted Soldier. I got this comment from the Soldier's supervisor. "Performs only when under direct supervision and multiple instructions given for the same tasker". Of course then the Supervisor gave examples (and dates) of the enlisted Soldier's performance, to support the comment above.
