Evaluation Reporting System
AR 623-3 governs the evaluation reporting system for officers, warrant officers, and NCOs: rating chains, report types, timelines, and the appeals process. It is the policy; DA PAM 623-3 is the procedure. Rating officials who do not read it end up writing reports that get returned.

Writing bullet comments that mean something
A strong bullet names the action, the scope, and the result. Vague praise costs an NCO points at a selection board because a board member cannot tell what actually happened.
