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!

I actually found this in a department evaluation assessment:

"(He) has the interpersonal communication skills of a crack-addicted rabid raccoon. Not really, but I'd prefer to work with one of those."

As a senior rater, one of my comments was "The in-service recruiter who brought us this soldier should face UCMJ action for fraud, waste and abuse."

I once wrote that "xxxxx is the proverbial cartoon soldier, Beetle Bailey. He does not exceed the minimum standard. He sets it."

Got a call from promotion board asking what I meant.

I was the admin troop who had to review and edit EPRs for my flight. The commander had written Paul a firewall 5 but left one line blank, which was a huge no no. To help the commander out, I typed in, "Like Jesus of Nazareth, literally walked on water." I then turned it in to CQ. Later, I went to CQ to check distribution. I saw our Personnelist, Vanessa, laughing so hard she was crying. My fellow admin, Rich, who worked in CQ was on the phone with MPF Personnelist Valerie. The conversation went something like this:
Rich: I'm looking at Paul's EPR, and there is a line here that says, 'Like Jesus of Nazareth, literally walked on water....'
Valerie (yelling): It doesn't say that!
Rich: I'm looking right at it, and I'm serious-it actually says that. Now, I say it should be 'Jesus the Nazarene'. I'm asking you to tell me which one is correct.

This conversation went on for some time with Valerie yelling and Vanessa busting a gut. I had no idea Rich would take things a bit further.

I have a lot of them, but my all time favorite:
Senior Rater comments on an OER.
Captain (XXX) is dumb, but he's the best I've got.
Above Center of Mass box check.

This was all that the battalion commander wrote.
