Introduction.This guide is not intended to be a source of “cut and paste” narratives and comments for you to simply “check the block” on an evaluation. Instead, these examples are intended to get you, the Rater and Senior Rater, to break your writer’s block and create unique narratives for your officer and strengthen their evaluation. ENSURE THE NARRATIVE REFLECTS YOUR OFFICER; what they did, who they are, how they the organization benefited from their service.The guide goes through the rules for comments and narratives found in AR and DA PAM 623-3, and gives examples of narrative comments (individual sentences that can be combined to form a narrative) that support and or strengthen the applicable box check. Again, the comment examples in this guide are single part sentence pieces of a narrative and should not be considered complete narratives. Due to the unique nature of the attributes and competencies, some narratives and statements might be a fit for more than one location. It is STRONGLY recommended that you utilize the PDF-F version of the applicable evaluation forms (DA FORM 67-10-1 for O1-O3 and W1-CW2) for drafting an evaluation. This allows you or your SMEs to QA/QC your product before putting it into EES.

The FROM date will be their commissioning date. All time until their BOLC graduation will be NONRATED on their first OER. OER PROFILING:OERs: Rater and Senior Rater Profiles are CONSTRAINED, meaning Officers are only allowed to grant 49% of each rank they rate with either an “EXCELS” (as Rater) or “MOST QUALIFIED” (as Senior Rater). HOWEVER, if you have an immature profile, and have only just begun rating/senior rating Officers of a certain rank, you are allowed a ONE TIME option of giving one of the first two evaluations you make at a particular grade, an “EXCELS” (as Rater) or “MOST QUALIFIED” (as Senior Rater).OER (OER SUPPORT FORM) PART III:Developing ‘Significant Duties and Responsibilities’ (blocks a., b., and c.): Refer to DA PAM 611-21 (https://www.milsuite.mil/book/groups/smartbookdapam611-21) and DA PAM 600-3 (Commissioned Officer Professional Development and Career Management), to assist in the development of PART III, block d.

Include:-Number of personnel supervised, -Amount of resources under the rated officer’s control, -Scope of responsibilities. 3) Descriptions must be clear and concise with emphasis on specific functions required.4) Note conditions unique to the assignment; e.g. RA officers assigned to FT support duties with RC units or USAR officers assigned to RA units OER NARRATIVES: Notes, Rules, and InstructionsRater and Senior Rater Narratives: -Requires candor and courage; frank and accurate assessment.-Quantify officer’s value relative to peers and do so in concert with rater/senior rater box check. -Are short; tell a simple story about the quality of officer being evaluated.-Are interesting and compelling. -Are looked at by selection board members when they are looking for in-depth information about a rated officer’s performance and potential. -Numbers; 1-10, write them out (e.g. one, two, ten). 11 or higher, write the number; e.g. 11, 15, 105. Exception, when a 1-10 is WITH an 11 or higher; e.g. “5 tool kits with 20 tools each.”-Fashion the narrative to the officer; double check use of “he/his” vs. “she/hers.” -Awards: Awards and/or special recognition received during the rating period may be cited in evaluation comments (for example, “received the Humanitarian Service Medal” or “named the Instructor of the Year”).-Raters and SR CAN use the officer’s name in the narrative; e.g. “1LT Joe was ….”Rater and Rater Narratives: -Focus on PERFORMANCE; explaining what the rated officer did and how well he/she did it.-Focus on specifics to quantify and qualify performance.-Raters should advocate the rated officer to the SR. -When there is no SR (due to lack of qualifications), rater’s narrative provides the input on both performance and potential. Senior Rater (SR) and SR Narrative (see SR Rater Narrative section for examples):-Focus on POTENTIAL, 3-5 years out (promotions, command, school, & assignments).-Can amplify box checks by using the narrative to clearly send the appropriate message to selection boards.-CANNOT mention Box Check.-Additional information for when SR is also Rater can be found in DA PAM 623-3, pg. 26, “DA Form 67–10–1, part VI: block c—Senior Rater Narrative.”OER Narrative Prohibited Techniques, Inconsistencies, No-Go’s: -School/Course Comments: Bullets about how a Soldier did in a school or course are ONLY allowed if that school did not produce an AER/DA Form 1059.-Narratives are not a laundry list of superlatives – more is not necessarily better. -Brief, unqualified superlatives or phrases, particularly if they may be considered trite.-Excessive use of technical acronyms, or phrases not commonly recognized. -Techniques aimed at making specific words, phrases, or sentences stand out from the rest of the narrative; e.g. excessive use of capital letters; unnecessary quotation marks; repeated use of exclamation points; wide spacing between selected words, phrases, or sentences to include double spacing within a paragraph or between paragraphs.-Inappropriate references to box checks; e.g “Would be TOP BLOCK if profile allowed” or “absolutely far exceeded the standard”.-Trying to quantify (e.g. “top 2% of my captains”) with a small population.-Stay in your lane/level; avoid comments like “Best 1LT in the Army” unless you’re the Army CoS. -Stating “the best ever”; having 10 in the population, 50 in the profile. -Using overused phrases and clichés that are counterproductive or overused; e.g. stellar, historic, “delivered a dazzling performance,” “hit the ground running,” consummate professional, and unlimited potential.-Using specific selection board-type language. Examples of this include, “definitely a 6+ Soldier”.-Don’t exaggerate; “If I could prove it, CPT X is an LTC disguised as a CPT.”-Be mindful of what IS NOT said; it can have the same impact as what is said; e.g. NOT having numbers, or quantifiable points.-Don’t say the same thing for all your people (Boards can easily detect repeated verbiage).-Avoid using the same verbiage year to year for the same officer (modified cut and paste).-Accurately and fairly assess all officers regardless of branch and functional area.-No comments about marital status or spouse; to include spouse’s employment, education, or volunteer services. HOWEVER the following IS permitted - “CPT Doe continued his outstanding, selfless service, despite his wife’s severe illness” or “COL Doe’s intemperate public confrontations with his wife were detrimental to the status as an officer.”NEGATIVE COMMENTS: Rules and Instructions for including in a Narrative (see individual sections for example narrative comments)Negative comments are as important as positive comments. Raters and senior raters (SR) have a responsibility to fairly and accurately assess the rated officer. In order to preserve, promote, and ensure the quality of officers, raters and SR must have the moral courage to evaluate honestly.Negative comments bottom line: If it happened, has been verified, and is accurate, it can and should be included (if the officer has not taken steps to correct the issue). Counseling is an important part of this process, to ensure that a rated officer has time to correct issues, problems or deficiencies during the period. These counseling then become supporting documents to reinforce the decision to add negative comments, or not.

Are plated bullets faster than jacketed? The thickness of the copper and the speed that you can push them. Jacketed bullets have a thicker copper coating than plated bullets do, and as a result you can load them faster. Neither is "better on the barrel" than the other. The plated ones are normally "better on your wallet".
