If there are negative remarks on your NCOER those must be substantiated with recorded counseling or documentation of some type. Your unit is required to post the rating scheme, so ask your 1SG who your designated rater is. Your duty description is in the DA PAM 611-21. Take the description for the rank of your position, add the size of the unit you support and the number of Soldiers you are in charge of, that&#39;s your duty position SFC Private RallyPoint Member Fri, 01 May 2020 10:18:33 -0400 2020-05-01T10:18:33-04:00 Response by SGM Bill Frazer made May 1 at 2020 5:07 PM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/does-a-counseling-for-an-nco-have-to-be-done-in-writing-in-order-to-be-put-onto-an-ncoer?n=5839268&urlhash=5839268 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You don&#39;t have to but lack of all that will make an easy rebuttal of the NCOER.
