The NCOER
It's an unfortunate fact of military life that no matter how hard you work or how many hours you put in, your accomplishments won't be recognized unless they can be accurately represented by the words contained on a single sheet of paper --your NCOER. Performance reports are among the most important documents you're likely to encounter during your Army career. That single sheet of paper affects your chances for promotion, your assignment options, training opportunities, and your entire future in the military. No other document has as much effect on your career or your life. Don't risk your future --or your troops' --with a less than perfect NCOER. Check the links below for examples.

How to Improve Your NCOER Score Read DA Pamphlet 623-3 and AR 623-3. Understanding how the process works is the first step in improving your score. Don't waste time on areas that you can't control and concentrate on those that you can. Target areas that provide the most points first. Talk with your supervisor about your NCOER. Ask him or her how you're doing and what you can do to improve. This may be the single most effective step you can take and can't be over-emphasized. Then act on what your supervisor said. Follow up periodically and don't hesitate to ask for further advice. Fill out an NCOER on yourself and see what areas might be improved. Do this as soon as possible because it takes time to change behavior and for others to become aware of it. Keep track of your performance. Write down your accomplishments so that you can remember them when it comes time to provide material for your NCOER. You can be the best troop inn the world but if you can't remember what you've accomplished, it isn't worth a hill of beans. |
