Who decides on the content for your Officer/NCO evaluation and who produces the final product? Why?

It should be a collaboration of everyone.

Well, in all honesty YOU control the content especially with the new NCOER system. When you do your support form it should be in conjunction with your raters's support form. Once you complete your support form, and your rater approves it, it is up to the rated Soldier (NCO or Officer) to update it with whatever performance objectives that you achieve throughout the rated period. If you do that, and stay engaged the evaluation writes itself. Collaboration SHOULD happen between the rated individual, rater and senior rater, but the key is YOU. If you don't have input on your support form you have nothing to stand on when you get your evaluation.

There are "regulation" and "reality" grounded answers normally offered to this question. I will simply say what an old, retired SSG said to me about my third day of ROTC: "You are your own best career manager. Nobody cares about it more than you."

YOU control the content of your evaluation (through your support form) as only YOU know what you did. Now, if your boss is engaged, he'll know the veracity of the claims you are making on said support form and will either support them or throw the BS flag.
