We have all had a subordinate that needed to go. What are some Rating Bullets you have used that were both funny and sad but true?

I tried to use one that an O-5 raised about $40 for a fund raiser. It's what they gave me for THEIR OER. Boss wouldn't let me use it. Those were full of prevarications but total honesty would be really tough

"If men were to follow this officer in to battle it would only be out of idle curiosity."

"His company performed admirably during the Los Angeles Riots under the capable leadership of his executive officer."

Don’t waste time on the bullets if you are sure of the decision to push him/her out Give them a 1.0 in any category and mark the box not recommended for retention. This makes the decision for them.

Failed to abide by unit's Barracks policy.
You are an NCO!!!The comments I'm using now, I should be using on a PRIVATE!!!

Actual first line of an OER I wrote on a 1LT,
“1LT X is a marginal officer...”

I wrote these on a SSG I was chaptering, knowing fully that the CSM would laugh, and then kick it back to me.

-works adequately under direct supervision

-consistently converts oxygen to CO2

-would serve the Army best as a civilian

Doesn't sweat much for a fat guy.

This officer did not provide an input to his fitness report after being contact twice by me and three times by the XO. Thus, his comments block is blank.

"Able to perform all duties with minimal supervision."

"Should not be allowed anywhere around weapons" --the career field was Security Police and required daily arming- "Cannot seem to stay awake under most circumstances" --again, USAF SP, perpetual guard duty. And, finally, "May at some point become a functioning human being, but I doubt he will ever become a functioning Airman. I tried, i really tried on this guy. Had to go before he got someone hurt, and this, from memory, is about what I wrote.

Depriving a village somewhere of an idiot
