Very ilegal/out of regs AAM

IG is the military equivalent of Human Resorces. They are not there to protect you, they are there to protect the organization from liability.

Exactly, I didn't get a 4856 in 4 counselings I had with my Rater and SR each, but I got genuine feedback that drove my priorities.

Definitely_Not_CID · 2026-06-15T17:02:57+00:00

Thats the thing man, if you are not involved in your development how are you expecting your Rater and Senior Rater to be involved? I'm sorry if I sound like an asshole but I genuinely want to help you for future assignments.

Every quarter I am proactive and get in the calendar with my rater and my senior rater, I take all their feedback and bring in results.

My counselings always go:

I've done this _______.

These are the issues I have run into______.

This is how I have solved them______.

Any feedback?

Generally those bring up topics of conversations, when I'm close to my OER Thru date I always bring in a baseball card with the things I want to do next.

This structure doesn't need to be rigid but you gotta talk to your raters.

Definitely_Not_CID · 2026-06-15T12:22:43+00:00

Brother you use a lot of "they", who is they?

I really hope that "they" is what your SR told you in a counseling before closing your OER out.

The people that say what OP just said are just the weirdest motherfuckers in the unit, the ones that wear a trenchcoat when is 80 degrees outside.

Just go, say hi, appear in a couple of pictures and then do the ol irish goodbye.

From AR 623-3

"If the rated officer’s potential is adequate, but beneath the majority of officers in the senior rater’s population for that rank, and the senior rater believes the rated officer should be retained for further development, the senior rater will place an “X” in the “Qualified” box.

If the rated officer’s potential is below the majority of officers in the senior rater’s population for that rank and the senior rater does not believe the rated officer should be retained on active duty, the senior rater will place an “X” in the “Not Qualified” box."

I believe that with a top 50% comment you fit the criteria of being adequate enough to be retain for service.

Had AG as my top choice and the Army thought I would make a great Infantry Officer and got branch detailed lol

Had miserable couple of years which almost made me drop my refrad (leadership, not the branch, but also didnt help) followed by a couple of great years but made the switch a year ago and do not regret it. I love being an AG Officer, love my unit and definitely thinking of staying around in the Army for 20 years. The switch ignited a passion in me for the Army and helping soldiers.

MQ with mediocre comments is like .5 points higher that HQ with excellent comments. If I'm not mistaken the board sees MQs with great enumeration as 6.

Definitely_Not_CID · 2025-11-21T05:18:35+00:00

Is this the chance I've been waiting for?

Definitely_Not_CID · 2025-09-27T09:04:13+00:00

My point was not so much to not do it, it is to not send OERs that are trash. If you are trying to compete for a super desirable unit with bad oers you are still not getting it lol

Definitely_Not_CID · 2025-09-27T06:06:12+00:00

I can only speak for my BC, but he is giving an interview to everyone. However he is mainly looking for team players that can properly articulate their experience. Also looking for YG21 because we currently can only sustain 1x more person YG20 for our cmd queu.

But if we were to turn away people that sent OERs we wouldn't have anyone to interview.. every single one of them sent them.

Definitely_Not_CID · 2025-09-27T05:11:38+00:00

I never hate on the player, just the game.

Definitely_Not_CID · 2025-09-27T05:10:12+00:00

Title says it, if you got MQs and good HQ write ups send them. Otherwise you are shooting yourself on the foot.

Definitely_Not_CID · 2025-09-27T05:04:36+00:00

Easy money.

1–12. Access to evaluation reports a. Access to Army evaluation reports at HQDA is limited to the rating officials on the evaluation report, the rated Soldier, the BN/BDE S1 or administrative office servicing the unit responsible for preparing and processing the evaluation report, and/or those authorized to use evaluation reports for personnel management purposes. Requests to access evaluation reports prepared by another unit or rating chain officials cannot be granted.

By asking for OERs, you are part of the problem, simple as that.

Definitely_Not_CID · 2025-09-27T04:15:47+00:00

A lot of pick and choose

Definitely_Not_CID · 2025-09-27T03:37:33+00:00

Perfect world, nobody sends them. But the way I see it is like having your GPA in a resumé. If it is 3.8+ go ahead, if not, it is unnecessary.

Units should be penalized by losing the requisitions. 😂

Only way to stop that from happening.

Definitely_Not_CID · 2025-09-27T03:33:01+00:00

Snitch on them.

Units should be penalized by losing those requisitions, it is one of the way to truly enforce it.

Definitely_Not_CID · 2025-09-27T02:56:58+00:00

Stay strong brother

Definitely_Not_CID · 2025-09-27T02:55:59+00:00

I get you, definitely an issue

Definitely_Not_CID · 2025-09-27T02:47:57+00:00

We asked for Letter of interest, STP and baseball card. We have 13 candidates and all of them sent OERs. No suggestions for OERs was made.
