The 7 sinful career-enders of QMP do you agree or disagree RallyPoint? I agree, to focus on the total Soldier concept.
NEW RULES FOR Qualitative
Management Pro- gram screenings will be triggered when items in one of the
following seven categories are received for permanent filing in a soldier’s Army
Military Human Resources Record.
The QMP policy only applies to documents related to
performance or conduct in a soldier’s current grade. Documents generated before
a soldier was promoted to his or her current rank will be not used for QMP
referral.
The seven sins:
1. Memorandum of reprimand from a general officer.
2. Conviction by court-martial or punishment under Article
15 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
3. A “relief for cause” NCO Evaluation Report (DA Form
2166-8) pre- pared in compliance with Paragraph 3-55 of Army
Regulation 623-3 (Evaluation Reporting System).
4.The annotation of “no” in Part IV, Block A of DA Form
2166-8, which is the section of the NCO Evaluation Report dealing with Army
values, attributes, skills and actions.
5. A rating from the
senior rater of 4 (fair) or 5 (poor) for overall performance or potential in
Part V, Blocks C or D of the NCO Evaluation
Report.
6. A Service School Academic Evaluation Report (DA form
1059) indicating failure of an NCO Education System course.
7. The approval by the Army G-1 of a request from the
commander of the Human Resources Command
or a commander with
general court-martial convening authority to refer a soldier to QMP
processing.
The QMP and QSP will not refrain from reviewing the NCO's record or sending them packing because they are going through the redress process.
What gets to me is I know multiple Soldiers who marginally made through or did not passed NCOES who are now officers that continue to slip through the caps while some great NCO's who have had tougher rating chains or just plain didn't get along with the rating chain are losing their careers over an unjust NCOER or other issues that do not truly speak to the contributions they have made and continue to make!
tl;dr - SFC Simpson is right on.
