THE NON-COMMISSIONED OFFICER EVALUATION REPORT (NCOER)



It's an unfortunate fact of Army life that no matter how hard you work or how
many hours you put in, your accomplishments won't be recognized unless they can
be accurately represented by the words contained on a single sheet of paper:
your NCOER.

Evaluation reports are among the most important documents you're likely to
encounter during your military career. That single sheet of paper affects your
chances for promotion, your assignment options, training opportunities, and your
entire future in the military. No other document has as much effect on your
career or your life. So it only makes sense that we should take the time to do a
good job on our and our troops' NCOER. If you're the ratee, make sure that if
your supervisor asks for input or bullet comments for your NCOER that you
provide as much as you can. Providing material for your NCOER is not doing your
supervisor's job. It's an opportunity to have some influence on your rating!
It's like your supervisor handed you a blank check and said, fill in whatever
you want! Because NCOERs have a lot of weight in determining whether you get
promoted or not. And a promotion means a raise of thousands of dollars a year! I
don't know about you but I could definitely use the money! So when my supervisor
gives me a chance to have some input on my evaluation, I'm taking it!

A lot of people have a hard time coming up with input for their NCOER. It's hard
to express in just a few words all the ways you've contributed to the mission.
And knowing how important the NCOER is to your future and reaching your goals
makes it even harder. To help in this difficult task, we've assembled a
collection of NCOER examples, duty descriptions, and NCOER bullet comments.

ARMY COUNSELING



In the Army, counseling is an almost daily requirement. Whether it's meant to
guide a Soldier's growth, document career milestones, or correct improper
behavior, it can be a challenge to find the words to adequately describe a
Soldier's performance and potential. There are three broad types of counseling
that we encounter on a day to day basis: Performance Counseling, Event-Oriented
Counseling, and Professional Growth.

Performance counseling (also known as developmental counseling) is the type of
routine, periodic counseling provided by the supervisor to his Soldiers.
Soldiers (E-4 and below) should receive counseling monthly and it is normally
documented on DA Form 4856 but other formats are allowed for the initial
counseling. NCOs (E-5 and above) normally receive counseling quarterly unless
their conduct requires it more frequently. NCO counseling is normally documented
on DA Form 2166-8-1 but other formats are allowed for the initial counseling.

Event-oriented counseling is counseling that is required due to a specific event
or situation. It may precede events, such as preparing a Soldier to go to a
promotion board or attend a school, or it may follow events, such as noteworthy
duty performance, a problem with performance, or a personal problem. Examples of
event-oriented counseling are counselings for instances of superior or
substandard performance, reception and integration counseling, crisis
counseling, referral counseling, promotion counseling, and separation
counseling. More...

Professional Growth counseling is subordinate-centered counseling that outlines
actions necessary for Soldiers to advance in their MOS and achieve individual
goals and objectives. In order for our Soldiers to be competitive for promotion,
it is critical that NCOs provide professional growth counseling to their
Soldiers. Examples of this kind of counseling are briefings on requirments for
advancement in a person's MOS and preparation for rank-specific schools. More...

ARMY AWARDS AND DECORATIONS



Submitting someone for a medal is one of the most satisfying things a supervisor
can do. The results are so positive that it's almost magic. Not only do you get
to express your appreciation for someone who deserves it, the person who was
recommended is even happier than you. They're ecstatic that someone recognized
their efforts and took the time to make the recommendation. And the promotion
points are an added bonus. And, recommending someone for an award makes you look
good. It demonstrates to the Commander that you're taking care of your troops.
And finally, the Commander is happy, both with you for being a top-notch NCO and
about being able to hand out an award. Commanders love to present awards. It
makes them look good and they're happy to have an opportunity to show their
appreciation for their troops. The judicious award of medals is good for morale
all around.

The Army Achievement Medal, the Army Commendation Medal, and the Meritorious
Service Medal are probably the most commonly submitted and awarded decorations
in the Army. The Army has streamlined the process over the last few years and
it's easier than ever to submit someone for a medal.

If you've never submitted someone for a decoration before it might seem
complicated but it's not really that hard. All awards follow a prescribed format
which is outlined in the applicable reg (AR 600-8-22, Military Awards). All that
needs to be done is to fill in the details. But sometimes it's hard to get your
thoughts flowing, to accurately convey what you want to say. That's where we
come in. We're in the process of collecting awards and decoration examples to
make the job easier. So far, we have basic instructions for preparing the most
commonly awarded medals and quite a few examples of properly written citations.
