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!

Is always present and prepared to provide input, especially when such is not expected.

I tried to use that one, and was vetoed.

Has great potential as a civilian.

Also got vetoed on that one. But both were overwhelmingly true.

"...makes maximum use of limited potential." Buried in a longer paragraph, almost got that one snuck in...

I once put in an APR, "He was sent to earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal man." An obvious quote from the Superman TV show. I thought the joke would be caught quickly and someone would at least ask me about. I was stunned when it was still in the final draft. This meant everyone up through the chain, even our CO, had seen this APR and was ready to sign it after final typing. (Yes, this was a long time ago.) I had to take the joke out or it would have been in his APR today. LOL

I had a SFC who lied to me. He asked me if he could go to the army track and field trials. I said sure SFC Miller. You compete in your event (10k) and qualify and your gone. He came up to me one week out and said here are my orders. It said assistant coach. I called USAREUR MWR and got this secretary and she said the COL will call you back. I was All army racquetball 1984. Masters champion. He called me back and said Chief it is too late. So I told Miller get out of my office and report to the SGM. And when you get back your NCOER will be waiting
Plus a article 15 for lying. The SGM was not in his rating scheme. Me and the xo. No article 15 but I gave him a 50.

Only works well under constant supervision and when cornered like a rat in a trap.
This man is depriving a village somewhere of its idiot.
Has delusions of adequacy.

There are some others here:

Back in the day, we did not have "Evaluations". I guarantee you mine would have been extra funny :-) If we had.

Worst I ever heard was an LT, a graduate of West Point and evaluated by an LTC from West Point, who said he should seek further employment opportunities at McDonald's.

I heard of (but did not see) a Brit eval stating 'this officer should not breed'...pretty hard to top that I used to think
