How many NCOERs get bounced all around and end up with the CSM who has significant issues that need addressing? The SSG who wrote the NCOER usually has multiple layers of red tape between himself and the CSM. We have far too many NCOs (and Officers) who can't write an NCOER for crap. But I think at a Battalion-level, the CSM sitting down with the SSGs and above to teach them how to write bullets, match rater/senior rater comments so they aren't contradictory, what (in the CSM's opinion) constitutes an excellance, promote now, and 1/1, rather than it just getting kicked back by the CSM through multiple iterations of "improvements." I think this is one of the weakest areas for our mid-level leaders. I've made note of this before, but the last 6 months in this job have really shown me a whole lot more as I review NCOERs from around the Army as the primary recruiter for a nominative assignment (USAPAT).Response by 1SG Chris Brown made Oct 15 at 2014 2:46 PM2014-10-15T14:46:32-04:002014-10-15T14:46:32-04:00LTC Private RallyPoint Member279674<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>From an CO perspective the three things that need the most attention on the administrative side of the house is how to write NCOERs, counselings, and awards. It is great to know what you want to say, but it is another thing if you do not know how to put it down on paper and tell others what you think.<br /><br />As far as other things PCCs and PCIs is great. How to create a leaders book and keep it current/how to utilize it. The other things that many NCOs struggle with should be taught to junior enlisted during JETS.<br /><br />JETS topics would be how to put together a promotion packet, how to do counselings, DNC (how to be the leader and conduct it), and how to run a formation for PT and accountability.Response by LTC Private RallyPoint Member made Oct 15 at 2014 9:27 PM2014-10-15T21:27:51-04:002014-10-15T21:27:51-04:00SFC Vernon McNabb279708<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I sat through many NCOPDs and a lot of them center around NCOERs. What about one to show the correct way to use the DA Form 2166-8-1 NCOER Support Form? In my unit, we are required to submit the support forms with the NCOER for review.Response by SFC Vernon McNabb made Oct 15 at 2014 9:56 PM2014-10-15T21:56:36-04:002014-10-15T21:56:36-04:001SG Private RallyPoint Member3219755<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I love all the feedback. It has been very helpful. The disadvantage of serving as a Guardsman/Reservist is the NCO development gap. I would like to see my unit build a robust program for our soldiers. They need and deserve the best. We expect the best as leaders, we need to give them our best.Response by 1SG Private RallyPoint Member made Jan 2 at 2018 4:28 PM2018-01-02T16:28:27-05:002018-01-02T16:28:27-05:00SFC Private RallyPoint Member5176551<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I would say let’s MDMP. I say this because at the company level leaders get so many tasks that could have been stopped at the cuops level. That way details/taskings are not the every day thing. That way leaders can train, lead, teach, conduct PCC and PCI’s and whatever. Also what we need to do is to lower the meetings. I say that to say this. If you’re in meetings as a 1SG and commander then you can’t do your job by helping the company with their functions. I don’t believe that conpany leadership needs to be at every meeting(CUB, BUB, UHPC, command and staff) to ensure information is getting cycled through the chains correctly. Again this is my .002 however, I didn’t go to in-depth on these however, these would be more In the realm of LPD’s and this is what I see in my fox hole. Please forgive me I used an iPhone and didn’t proof read my essay.Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Oct 28 at 2019 8:40 PM2019-10-28T20:40:05-04:002019-10-28T20:40:05-04:002014-10-15T14:30:11-04:00
