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!

Who ever would write comments like these in an AER, is truly unprofessional and not worthy to wear NCO stripes. PERIOD.

“He is a major asset to the command.”

I called him over to check this comment. Then, as he watched, I erased the last 3 1/2 words. We laughingly agreed both statements were accurate.

What is realy bad is when your unit leadership is lazy to write yours and then tell you to write it. USAF Not having the leadership to rate your performance Major all the way down

Here’s one I read on a Royal Navy evaluation:

“<<name>> should not be promoted if there is a Wednesday in the week.” No that’s a clear recommendation!!!

This officer fails to achieve the exceedingly low standards he sets for himself.

For a couple fills that were relieved of command I would have liked to have seen "constantly puts their career ahead of the welfare of their soldiers."
