Senior Rater Bullet Comments; what is best for promotion boards?

o Ranked #x out of x (rank) on Rally Point influence score

o Went from 5 thumbs down to 15 thumbs up in one rating period

o Salutes 2Lt's

Hope that helps.

Kevin,
Senior Rater bullet comments that stick out to board members are those that are tangible, not overly glorious, specific, quantifiable, and measurable. If you have those types of characteristics, then they'll adequately portray what you're trying to communicate as you evaluate an individual.

The most important thing board members want to know from the senior rater is what does the senior rater want the board to do, "promote now, promote with peers, do not promote...ect) This is a promotion board and senior raters need to spell it out for the board.

Then the senior rater needs to speak to the Soldiers potential for positions of increase responsibly.

Finally the senior rater should speak to the Soldier's future.

I offer the following:

o promote to MSG ahead of peers

o assigned to positions of increased responsibility

o possesses unlimited potential: future Command Sergeant Major
