Should peer and/or subordinate comments have a role in NCOERs/E4 Evals?

Just a thought- would peer and subordinate reviews allow for a well rounded review of an NCOs performance?

I think peer reviews could be good, but there might be issues having subordinates comment

Peer Evals, aka "Spear Evals." Peer evals, in my estimation, are a good tool for training environments. They can demonstrate writing and communication skills --and offer a perspective that may be overlooked by evaluators. However, in operational commands, I don't see value in peer, or even subordinate, evaluations. Subordinates should be focused on their own proverbial trees. Seniors should be looking to the health of the forest.
