The Counseling Gap: What the NCOER Says About You l BLx l Ep. 036

The NCOER you wrote on your rated NCO is a report card on you. Long before it is a report card on them. Every NCO has stared at an evaluation they could not finish well. The bullets are thin. The justifications are generic. Not because the rated NCO did not perform. Because the counseling that should have shaped the year never happened, or it happened late, or it happened generic. SGT Cashe and SSG Jones confront the Counseling Gap, the leader weight of writing evaluations on people you never invested in, and how thirty real minutes in the office change the eval before you ever sit down to write it. **This week:** Identify the one rated NCO whose evaluation you would struggle to defend right now. Schedule a real counseling before Monday formation. Thirty minutes. Three questions. The eval starts there. *Because of you, our Army is better.*
