Should my RallyPoint influence score be reflected in my NCOER?

"NCO ranked #3 among over 11,000 of his peers" I like it. (This is joke everyone, calm down!)

If you find a way for your epic RallyPoint Influence Score to get onto your NCOER, I will be the first to buy you a cold one.  :-)

That's hilarious!

But if we are going to throw bullets in about various pet army programs, we might as well add a social networking bullet, and Rally Point is as good as any.

I see a fake NCOER complete with Rally Point influence score being shared at a dining-in in the near future. In my experience (hahaha I know), those functions are where the Army does humor best, and extremely well sometimes.

Great idea as a veteran where my ranking among other veterans doesn't apply, I'm going to use your example and create a dating profile and use my mom's evaluation that I'm a pretty good catch as a ringing endorsement.

First of all I'm not a humorless drone so I don't want to take away from the joke here, but on a serious note, I think there are ways that Rally Point could be used to influence performance positively in ways that could reflect on an OER/NCOER. How about these very forums we post on? There have been a lot of educational and/or heated debate topics posted on here that could be used for discussions with subordinates in formal or informal OPDs, NCOPDs, LPDs or whatever flavor of professional development applies to you. Don't let the knowledge and discussion started in here end here. Take it to your unit. Then that effort to teach/coach/mentor your Soldiers could in fact influence how you're evaluated.

Under the right circumstances, your stellar Rally Point performance might entitle you to an AAM. It's in how you craft the bullets.

Well, to swipe a quote from Drew Carey, from "Whose Line is it Anyway?"... "...where everything's made up and the points don't matter." I like the idea, though... the humor behind it, that is.

With the right wording, not only do I think you can make it happen, but it won't even get an eyelash batted at it =o)

I say no, it is not really within the duty description you are being rated as. Anyone can be anybody on the internet, not saying y'all are posers, but I feel it is moot for an NCOER bullet. Thank you for your time.

Top 1% NCO. Winner of the coveted Trailblazer award. Thought leader. Shares vast knowledge with peers and community.

Seems legit.

This reminded me of an old story of mine:

Had a friend who wrote a joke NCOER for himself and submitted it to his supervisor as a "guide" because TDYs had kept the two seaparate for the majority of the year.

Bullet comments included creating cold fission, competing in the mongolian army NCO of the year competition, obtaining superpowers, courting Jessica Alba, and teaching an old dog new tricks.

many of his bullet comments also ended in question marks and he exceeded the BN PT standard by scoring an "ELEVENTY GADRILLION" on the APFT.

Well, in a routine "spot check" the 1SG found it on the PSGs desk and picked it up, understanding that all is in good fun. He then rewrote the NCOER properly (using all the same bullet comments) so IF all the events were true, would have been a well written NCOER and accepted by HQ. He then used the two as before and after NCOER examples for the next NCOPD.

That is what I like to call Leadership, like a BOSS.

Yes definitely, as well as your Twitter status, amount of likes on Facebook, and contacts on linked in. Everyone knows the Arab spring happened due to Facebook, Zukenberg, and probably Al Gore so we have to ensure our troops are capable in the greatest weapon of all times: social media.

Engages with military personnel during off hours...Surrounds himself around like minded success driven NCOs and Officers. Willing to step out of his comfort zone and correct SNCOs and Officers alike.

Ha-Ha.. kinda neat though.. the p.c.-me too crowd would whine of course and try to make their non relevant ‘basket weaving’ relevant (possibly saying it shows their tenacity at ‘sticking with it’ and finishing the job.. uh huh .. yeah, sure, ok... you wanna cookie for that too?)..
