Why is it so tough for the Army Reservist NCO, my former rater to write my change of rater NCOER, even after IG has contacted her?

It seems only your (former) rater can answer that question.

In most cases it is not that hard, they just want to pass the buck. I took over as UA for a unit that had several NCO's cross leveled out and no one had done their change of rater, so I spent several weeks tracking down people to get the work done.

Its not tough, they are just not doing it...Likely because they failed at the job of being a rater and have NO idea what to write about you.
If you want it done, write your own and email it to him as "suggestions" he will likely change a few words and sign it.
Its wrong, its unprofessional on your raters part, but it is an ends to a need.

It's not hard to get done....it's just that your former rater is an idiot and shouldn't be wearing stripes.

Why did it take until the beginning of April to submit my NCOER when my thru date is 24 Sept? People are lazy. I am in a joint unit BUT someone dropped the ball on mine. My rater had it done in September. Then it got kicked back because somehow the Duty MOS portion didn't get filled in...

I also think a slight part has to do with the new EES but still...some people are just plain lazy. I'm active duty too.

Speaking for myself, I have found EES to be an absolute bear to work with anywhere but on a government computer. That gave me all sorts of hell on the last evaluation cycle.
Having said that, depending on how long it has been, there aren't very good excuses for not doing so. It is well known that a COR is a required report.
Most likely, the leaders of the unit aren't tracking it because you are no longer on their roster.
If you have to, you can eat the non-rated time without too much consequence, or even do an extended annual at your new unit, but the first option is definitely getting the report done the right way.

Well fist more information is needed. Like how long has it been since IG contacted her. Then what is her civilian job and what kind of stress does it put on her. Is she dead or deseased. Then final nail she may be a dud.

Have you initiated the eval in EES? If not, you can have someone initiate it for you and complete it. Basically your Rater and Sr Rater will just have to sign. While this this not ideal, it'd be the best solution for you or anyone whose chain of command is not as diligent when it comes to NCOERs.

I am also trying to get COR done. I completed everything in Jan and send it up for signatures. Sr. Rater had to go in and make changes and it's been messed up since. Rater won't help and Sr. Rater refuses to make changes because is only a COR and some things "don't apply" to him.

Sadly, I see this happen too often in some Reserve units. Especially if there is no S1/Admin Support. Also, I've seen how insouciant many leaders are regarding evals.

IG seems to be my next course of action but after reading your post it doesn't seem like they'll be much help.

Hope this helps and best luck to you!
