How would you handle the new Senior Rater Profile 50% maximum top performer threshold if you have less than 3 NCOs?

The new NCOER to be implemented FY16 limits the Senior Rater Profile to only giving up to 50% of their rated NCOs a "top performer" rating. Therefore, if you have 3 NCOs, only 1 would qualify for this rating regardless of the other 2 NCOs overall performance/potential.

As you stated we will only be allowed to give "top performer" to one of them. This forces our hand to really know our Soldiers and what they are doing or not doing. While it may seem "unfair" I have seen many times where the situation was that three NCOs received the same 1,1 among the best, and one was clearly better at leading,working and training Soldiers. I think it will be a great tool to truly separate "the best" of the best.

That is better then the Air Force, our new EPR is set for 10% (as of the last docs I seen on it).

MSG Private RallyPoint Member On the AF side, it will be the Commander that will hand out the rating, so you are rated against all members of that unit that are the same rank, vs just the people your direct rater supervise.

I think this may become a problem when NCOs are moved around a lot in a Hospital setting. The problem being what if you have a stellar NCO in all areas you are moved to within a hospital setting? I believe there may be some in just done to those stellar NCOs.
