@SFC Christopher Harris presented some info for Army NCOER, what about a service wide one. A leader is a leader, and each service has a formthat covers all of thier MOS/Ratings, why not use 1 form for all services?

Honestly, I REALLY liked the USMC standard "FitRep." It was a simple and easy to understand form which highlighted what Marines thought was important. It keyed in on a dozen or so areas including basic metrics, but also gave the ability of "raters" or those in Supervisory or Managerial positions (aka Leadership) to provide specific input about performance.

It acted as not only an evaluation, but a yearly counselling statement from Sgt (E5) through BGen (O7). As it was individually based, but offered the ability to competitively rank, without too much need to "inflate" because there were clear delineating lines of what the standards were for each grade it was nice. You didn't have to worry about "all to one side issues" and a few "average" marks wouldn't kill your career (early on).

Example from google search:

Sgt Aaron Kennedy, MS If I'm not mistaken, isn't FitReps what the Nav uses, too?

SN Greg Wright Possibly, but I don't know if they use "our" FitRep.

I would be opposed to one across all services, if I were to choose only one, it would be the USMC FitRep without a doubt.

Why would you be opposed CSM Michael J. Uhlig ? Leadership is leadership and MOS skill is MOS skill.

No. The branches are each different. I you want both Air Force and Marine Corps, be a winger.

What is your opinion of a service wide NCO/PO/SNCO Evaluation report?

Not a fan.

Air Force looks for different things than Navy which looks for different things than Army which doesn't stress things as highly as Marines do...

That's why each branch has their own form...

I learned many years ago as PSNCO, it is better to work smarter than to work harder. Utilizing one form for all Services would save hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Sounds like a great idea, but honestly each branch has their own way of doing things, if we were all the same than their would be only one branch. Yes I agree that leadership is leadership, but if you think about it, there are very diverse types of leadership based on MOS, position and duties.

1stSgt (Join to see) - That is a great question. For the most part, the job and roles are the same. The traditions may be different but they serve the same cause, death and destruction. My question is do we treat all leaders alike as if they have the same leadership styles. For instance there are 5 different types of leadership styles, they are Laissez Faire, Autocratic, Participative, Transformational and Transactional. Should we rate our leaders on their styles of leadership as well?
