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 best NCOER comment I ever saw was "Managed to take the oath of Enlistment".

In the old USMC fitrep system (prior to 2000) it was all about the comments. The new PES stopped a lot of the sarcastic humor, but some of the older comments were hilarious: "Sharper than the leading edge of a bowling ball..." "The gates are down, the lights are flashing, but the train never seems to come down the tracks..." "His Marines follow him out of sheer curiosity..."

My favorite review was for a subaltern in the British Army’s Dragoon Guards (an ancient cavalry regiment) was “I would not bread from this officer”. The second is claimed by a friend of mine, “This office must stop seeing the Navy as a method of transport between social events”.

I recently rated a SFC who is definitely ready to retire. I consider him the highest skill level 10 Soldier in the army. The senior rater put "Soldier For Life" in the successive assignment. love it.

How about a true one
SFC miller is the worst NCO I had the dishonor to work for me. Alls he cares about is attempting to make the army trials in in the 10. I with concurrance of my senior rater have relieved him of duty and have asked human resourses to transfer him. He is currently working for the Sgm. He lied to me.
