\u201cAs soldiers gain weight over time, they often, according to their NCOERs, grow in height\u201d so they will be in compliance with Army\u2019s weight control regulation, according to the Regular Army Sergeant Major Selection, Training and Promotion board that met in June. It was easy for the board to suss out potential cheaters by simply comparing the height in the NCOER with Enlisted Record Briefs and Academic Evaluation Reports.<\/p>\n
The board noticed a second problem: Some raters overemphasize the PT success of an E-8\u2019s subordinates at his or her command, rather than the individual. This was a red flag to the board to dig deeper and examine the E-8\u2019s personal score.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Excellence block is too often checked and not backed up with substantive bullets in the physical fitness section,\u201d the board reported.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Of course, it doesn’t happen in every case, and probably statically few, but the new NCOER was supposed to end inflated performance evaluations. I remember that guidance and probably screwed some of my own subordinates because I thought everyone would comply. Silly me.<\/p>\n
And that’s the picture that the Army Times uses in their article, too. I guess the senior NCO Corps thinks it’s time to rest on their laurels. After Vietnam we had some NCOs who thought that their combat time bought them some leeway in the battle of their bulge, but when the military started cleaning out the ranks in the early 80s, those fellows were the first to go. Instead of being the cutting edge of training with their combat experience, they tried to ride out their records until retirement.<\/p>\n
But, I don’t see a Ronald Reagan in our near future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
