Good morning Rally Point!
If you wanted to speak with your Senior Rater -- whom you don't see much due to shift work and location differences -- regarding his/her comments on your NCOER, how would you go about doing it? For instance, if you thought you were performing at the top 1% and have quantifiable data to back this claim (things that had never been done that have a large mission impact/higher performance scores/multiple additional duties/etc), but received a rating of lesser, what steps would you take? Of course we all know that the Senior Rater comments are for POTENTIAL and should reflect as such, but surely there are smart people on this website and are more tactful than I am -- please share any insight on how to go about requesting a conversation with your senior rater.

Your Senior Rater is supposed to rate you as the #x out of x I've rated, or more commonly top x% of all I've rated. Maybe you're not the top 1% of all the SSGs they've rated in their career. But that is the conversation you need to have with them

First, unless things have changed in the last 5 years, it is the senior rater's responsibility to get your signature. That is your built-in "opportunity" to discuss with senior rater. Make them do their job, don't let them do it through E-mail or pawn it off on rater.
Second, your senior rater SHOULD be counseling you. This almost never happens, in my experience, but it is supposed to.
Third, your senior rater likely has office hours. It may be during your "off" time, so will require you to sacrifice, but if it is important to you, make the time to go fit into his or her schedule.

Was none of this brought up on your NCOER Support Form and/or required quarterly counselings?
