NCOER Bullets / Comments

"Soldier has managed to not rape, pillage, or plunder during the rated time frame".  ;)

<p>I recently wrote this one for my PSG's NCOER</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>o always displays a strong concern for Soldiers, ensuring the fair and equal treatment of everyone in a safe workplace that builds an environment of dignity and respect<br></p>

Everyone is asking for a bullet for value. Is everyone tracking the new MILPER message says it needs to go in the leadership area

These are all great bullets that you could use or potentially give you ideas for one, but I am a firm believer that we should try to be unique.  When everyone is saying the same thing about their rated NCO, then it becomes canned and difficult for those that are board members to distinguish between everyone.  I recommend saying exactly how the NCO supported the program within their unit in your own words.  Also, remember, the bullet is not mandatory yet for everyone, only for those that have a FROM DATE after 28 September 2013.

fostered a command climate rooted in dignity and respect; absolutely supports the equal opportunity and sexual harassment assault response and prevention program

We shouldn't just have mandatory bullets for SHARP, but for other criminal activity as well!<br>o didn't murder nobody<br>o didn't piss hot<br>o didn't steal nothing<br>

o emphasized the importance of the SHARP program within the unit; ensured 100% compliance in his section in regards to attendance and participation in unit training

You can pretty much use the similarity bullets used for EO, if you have ever used those just adjust wording as needed.

established a workplace and overall climate in compliance with the Army SHARP and EO programs that fosters dignity and respect for all members of the group

I cannot believe that as professionals, you are posting this stuff on here. SFC Jackson, The only place that the SHARP bullet needs to be inserted is IVd (Leadership). You can place it under values but it is a requirement to be placed in the Leadership block.

the following is from Milper Message Number 13-306

5. THE FOLLOWING SUBPARAGRAPHS OUTLINE NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICER EVALUATION FORM REQUIREMENTS AND ENHANCEMENTS AND APPLY TO DA FORM 2166-8:

A. WHEN COMPLETING PART IV, BLOCK D OF DA FORM 2166-8, NCO EVALUATION REPORT, RATERS WILL ASSESS HOW WELL THE RATED NCO FOSTERED A CLIMATE OF DIGNITY AND RESPECT AND ADHERED TO THE SEXUAL HARASSMENT/ASSAULT RESPONSE AND PREVENTION (SHARP) PROGRAM. THIS ASSESSMENT SHOULD IDENTIFY, AS APPROPRIATE, ANY SIGNIFICANT ACTIONS OR CONTRIBUTIONS THAT THE RATED NCO MADE TOWARD PROMOTING THE PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF HIS OR HER SUBORDINATES; ENSURING THE FAIR, RESPECTFUL TREATMENT OF ASSIGNED PERSONNEL; AND ESTABLISHING A WORKPLACE AND OVERALL COMMAND CLIMATE THAT FOSTERS DIGNITY AND RESPECT FOR ALL MEMBERS OF THE GROUP. THIS ASSESSMENT SHOULD ALSO IDENTIFY, AS APPROPRIATE, ANY FAILURES BY THE NCO TO FOSTER A CLIMATE OF DIGNITY, RESPECT AND ADHERENCE TO THE SHARP PROGRAM.

promoted a positive Command Climate by ensuring all Soldiers in the Company worked and lived in a sexual assault and harassment free zone

I know that this post is older. However http://www.armynco.com/ncoers/ncoer_bullets.shtml is a great site to get the juices flowing while writing NCOERs.

Hope this helps someone.
