Couple of things I'd say:

1) The last major revision was 1987, so it's probably time for a change.

2) I like the Senior Rater profile restriction, similar to the OER, which forces the Senior Rater to make tough choices, at least some of the time.

3) This should (underscore should) make centralized promotions more fair.

Here is what the new NCOER should have in it...A statement from his immediate supervisor, commander that he is ready for the next rank. Period
All of these indicators are total BS..They are always subjective, and mostly overrated...PT Test, I had soldiers who were awful at PT but could do their jobs exceptionally. Al I want is an affirmation from the chain of command that they are ready to assume the responsibilities of the next rank

I am very much in favor of restricting top blocks on evaluations. "rating inflation" runs amok in a lot of organizations, and a fair, but not walk on water report is viewed as some kind of career killer that needs an EO complaint and a 15-6.

I invite comparisons to my peers. Nothing like competition to bring out higher performance.

I'm currently in SLC for 42A at Fort Jackson and we just received a brief from the TAG (The Adjutant General). The old NCOER is over inflated, do ya'll realize that over 92% of ALL NCOs are blocked as 1/1?!! That is CRAZY! How can a promotion board or a QSP board accurately select personnel for promotion/separation if they can't tell who is truly the best and who is the worst? Ninety-two percent!!! That number baffles my mind!

We still haven't fixed it though. We need to get rid of all subjectivity. No ratings, no opinions, just factual bullets..

Two Soldiers with completely identical performance can be rated completely differently because of the subjective nature of reports... All opinions need to go away..
